Would anyone like to offer what they charge or pay for yardage on a per-head per-day basis? I would like to get a poll and see what the ranges are. Thanks in advance.

( Well I don't have anything near a commercial feedlot but that is not to much when you think about feed,medicine,water,& any other thing that may have to be purchased.Anonymous said:bward said:Would anyone like to offer what they charge or pay for yardage on a per-head per-day basis?

Are you asking what we charge at large commercial feedyards? $40 per week for two large holstiens would not be competitive for a feedlot.

Dear Roy,
You are certainly correct. $40 per week for two large animals on a small ranch or farm is not too high. I was only trying to clarify what the gentleman exactly was looking for. My apologies. Scott

That breaks down to about $2.85 a day per head- I'd run all the cows you wanted to bring me for $2.85 a day. The guys that winter cattle around here usually charge $1.00- $1.25 a day to winter cows.
Neighbors ran a bunch of cows for an absentee cow owner for a couple of years and they charged $25 a month- year around.
Guess a lot of it depends on where you're at- what it costs you- and how much you can get people to pay.

$40 a week is outrageously high.

I'll send every cow I own to him for $300 bucks a year.
