[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1843681, member: 6291"] Before I started this I made a spreadsheet and put how many calves, their value, estimated all the costs, and the projected value at the time of sale. In the costs I shot the amount of feed phpd which gives you the frequency of refills. I had a sale date of like May 9th. Let's say the feeder gets refilled every 16 days on the projection and now it getting filled every 14, over the 3-4 months or what ever time fram that is, there is 6-8 refills. The question will be, of the rates continue, do you sell early and stick to your budget or stick to you date an add an extra refill? Maybe I should do a poll on here. 😄 On the spreadsheet, any thing that is a projected number is a certain color and any thing this is done, and spent, is a different color. With the formulas, the estimated profit adjusts right before your eyes as you type numbers in for actual costs over the estimates. You get to feel the loss of that extra feed or expenses every time you type them in. I like that... but I don't like it... at the same time. 🤣 [/QUOTE]
