[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 716891, member: 968"] As I keep saying - you have to raise the TYPE of animal that makes you the most PROFIT for your area. We raise Purebred Simmental cattle. We put 5-6 head on the Cornell feedlot program each year (retained ownership). We have CONSISTANTLY had the highest PROFIT steer or group of steers. This past year the conventional fed steers had an average Profit of $4.13 - with a range of (-$261.98) to a + of $172.59. One of my steers had the $172.59 PROFIT with a total average of $120.90. Avg final weight for the total group was 1233# (range 974 - 1579#), and mine was 1391#. The profit is calculated by Cornell based on a value of the calf at delivery (taking into consideration the actual market for the size/weight of the feeder), & total feedlot costs. They also calculate a Return to Cow/Calf enterprise. This is calculated by subtracting all expenses (except the feeder clf cost) from the receipts. It is a calculation of the money returned to the c/c enterprise; essentially the amount ofcash returned to pay the annual cost of keeping that calf's dam. The group avg $675 (range $255 - $935) Mine averaged $821.20 So - long story, but my cattle would be considered large cattle (cows average around 1500# - true SCALE weights - not guessing) and are PUREBRED. Amazes Cornell, mainly because ours are up against almost all crossbreds. Northern Rancher wrote: :banana: :banana: [/QUOTE]
