[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1465222, member: 17956"] We've got a thread or two running here, that makes me ask that question. A top shelf 500-550 pound steer here was 1.58, last week. That makes the 50 pounds worth $79. If your calf is a little off on quality, and it's .15 back, then there went another $75. That makes a grand total of $174. $174 is a considerable sum IMHO. That scenario could get worse quick, if you've really drifted from what the market in your area is looking for. Say $350 per head in some scenarios. Those scenarios wouldn't be to hard to walk backwards in to by the way. I know,because I've stepped in that hole a few times. On 100 head, were talking $17,000 to $35,000. Im not spoiling for a fight, just saying at some point small choices add up to big differences. [/QUOTE]
