Growing Feeder Steers in Western Nebraska .

Table 35 gives the price that the steers should have' been 

 sold at in the fall to have paid for the summer pasture, count- 

 ing the cost of the steers in the spring at $4.25 per 100 Ibs. and 

 charging a fixed price per steer per month for pasture. The 

 pasture season is considered as six months. If a steer in Lot 1 

 cost $4.25 per 100 Ibs. in the spring and the pasture bill were 

 25 cents per month for six months, the steer if sold in the fall 

 at $4.32 per 100 Ibs. would have paid the original cost and 

 the pasture bill. The interest on the investment and insurance 

 against loss are not counted in this calculation.
