[QUOTE="Central Fl Cracker, post: 522850, member: 1921"] I drove to one of my pastures today and ran into the man I gave his daughter an area to raise a show steer with FFA. Out of curiosity I asked him how did his daughter do on selling her steer. He told me it sold for around $ 4 cwt and weighed 1100 plb's I asked a few more questions on time it took to get to the weight and feed cost etc. After I got back in my truck I pulled out my phone calculator and tried to figure out how much they made. He said they fed the steer 10 lb's of feed for 5 months and some hay initially but none in the last 2 months. At $ 4400 dollars minus feed of about $ 250 minus steer cost of around $ 600 that ain't bad. I have never finished out a steer so I must be missing something. I know there is labor cost, vet cost but I must be missing something and I need to get out of the cow/calf business if I could make this kind of money. :dunce: [/QUOTE]
