[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1840532, member: 14161"] A few years ago at B.C. Cattlemen’s AGM they brought in a young lady from Nebraska to give a presentation on what feedlots expected cow/calf producers to do prior to delivering calves to a sale ring or direct to a lot. Weaned 60 days, double vaxxed etc. The gal left out the economical points on the cow guy’s end. Shink, cost of vaccine and feed, death loss…. When they asked if there were any questions I was first to hold my hand up. I asked is she could give me the names of a few lots that would pay me 25 cents a lb more than the premium we already received for our calves straight off the cow as that would be a rough breakeven to do the excercise. Most cow guys are not set up to maximize gains immediately and I think in those case the number would be closer to 40 cents difference to break even. The facilitator actually grabbed the mic out of my hand when she was at a loss for words and asked if there were any other questions. There weren’t. 😂😂 [/QUOTE]
