Calf value & price-slide calculator
Work out what a calf or a pen is worth per head, and how the price slide changes value as weight goes up.
1. Value per head
Value: — per head · — total
Pick an auction market to fill in its latest reported price for that weight class, or type your own.
2. Price slide
Many buyers bid a base price at a base weight and slide it down by a set $/cwt for every 100 lb over (and up for every 100 lb under).
Adjusted price: —/cwt · Value: — per head
3. Value of gain
What do the extra pounds earn you between two weight classes at the selected auction market? Compare that with your cost of gain on the FeedMath page.
Value of gain: — per lb of gain
Results are estimates based on reported auction market prices and the numbers you enter.
