n.c.iowa | featherfarmer - 7/30/2014 18:10 Come on guys are these feeders really to high yet? Let me use some numbers from this forum. 600 lbs feeder x 2.25=1350, 100 bu corn with a 3 in front = 300 +$100=$400, 1350 +400 =1750. Fats at $1.65x1400lbs = $2310. $2310-1750=560. Minus mortality sooo $500 a head? I think there is still some room left on the train. time you figure in yardage, feed, death loss, vet. you are going to have $.88- .98/lb wrapped up in them. |
