[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1824918, member: 12520"] Right. My pet peeve. Per pound means nothing. A friend of mine was crowing this fall because their calf “rang the bell” at the auction mart. Highest selling calf of the day. Just over $5 per pound. I asked what it weighed, did a quick calculation and discerned that this “bell ringer” sold for almost $1,000 less than my steers averaged. But this person is quite sure they are on the right track, topping the sale and all. I would also venture a guess that the cost to keep the mother of the little bell ringer cost close to the same as the mothers of my calves. [/QUOTE]
