[QUOTE="somn, post: 487069, member: 3721"] Not attacking anyone. You do understand however when you post about your cost per day to finish a steer is $.85 per day there will be some people (cow calf people) who read that and have no idea what the actual cost is they might believe you and the first thing they will think is those SOB feedlot owners won't pay nothing for my calves on account of the high price of feed but yet look how much money they are making. It only costs them $.85 per day to finish a steer. Doing it your way Calf cost 500# @ $1.10 = $550.00 340 days on feed @ $.85 = $289.00 Total inputs = $839.00 Sell 1450# steer @ $94.00 = $1363.00 $1363.00 - $839.00 = $524.00 Feedlot netted $524.00 $524.00 also equals a misinformed cow calf man that is mad at the feedlot owners. Cow calf man thinks he has spent a year taking care of cow and calf for a $50.00 profit so the feedlot man can screw him and make $524.00. In order to survive Cow calf men and women need feedlot owners. Feedlot owners need cow calf men and women. Try not to drive a wedge between us. And telling people you finish cattle for $.85 per day is a big wedge in the trust factor. This ain't perfect but it will give some insight into break evens. But remember these are done by a feed company who needs to sell feed. Sometimes they are wearing the rose colored glasses.
