[QUOTE="thommoos, post: 966553, member: 738"] 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 312 2.12 661.44 5.51 120 2.02 15-May 12-Sep 385 1.82 700.70 5.01 140 2.25 15-May 2-Oct 415 1.75 726.25 4.54 160 2.16 15-May 22-Oct 469 1.62 759.78 4.22 180 2.22 15-May 11-Nov 529 1.46 772.34 3.86 200 2.30 15-May 1-Dec 568 1.38 783.84 3.56 220 2.26 15-May 21-Dec 624 1.26 786.24 3.28 240 2.31 15-May 10-Jan 673 1.19 800.87 3.08 260 2.32 15-May 30-Jan 724 1.12 810.88 2.90 280 2.34 15-May 19-Feb 768 1.09 837.12 2.79 300 2.33 15-May 11-Mar 832 1.05 873.60 2.73 320 2.38 15-May 31-Mar 870 1.02 887.40 2.61 340 2.35 15-May 20-Apr So what do you think?
