1. What age or weight?
2. Have you evered figured the return based on the age of the animal?
I got to looking at the sale report for my area and was thinking when is it best to sale the calves? So I got to figuring. Animal sales @ 312 lbs for 2.12 a pound, that 661.11 the calf is probably 120 days old. So I asked myself what is the return on that calf for each day I kept him? Now I did not take in account the 280 days of gestation just the time on the ground, The age was a shot in the dark I figured somewhere around 4 months and then I figured each selling range of about 20 days of age on average. I went with a BW of 70 to determine Average Daily Gain.. Then I carried that formula on out till 340 days. DOB I just did an approximate for a calving period. See below:
Weight Price Per pound $$$$ Dollar return per Day Age ADG DOB Date of Sale
