Growing Feeder Steers in Western Nebraska

TABLE 31. Third summer account market values three-year- 

 old steers. 



May 4, 1910, to August 5, 1910. 



Table 32 shows the amount that should be added to the fall 

 value of the steer to secure a spring selling value that would 

 pay for the feed eaten and interest on money invested in the 

 steer during the winter. 



The average rise in value per 100 Ibs. of all the lots during 

 the winter, in order that the winter feed and interest on the 

 steer would have been paid, would have been 82 cents for the 

 first winter, 83 cents for the second winter, and $1.33 for the 

 third winter, or, for all lots for the three winters, 99 cents. 

 That is, taking the average selling price in the fall as $3.75 per 

 100 Ibs., then the steers would have sold necessarily for 99 cents 

 per 100 Ibs. more, or $4.74, to have paid interest on the money 

 invested in them during the winter and the value of the feed 

 eaten. I
