Fall calves are officially on the ground! Farmers are not only working to ensure their cows meet their nutritional needs while nursing, but they are also considering the most profitable, high quality feed for these calves.
Let’s take a look at the conversion rate of Performance Livestock feed (PLF) Cattle Feed in the table included below –
| Product | Cost Per 50lb Bag @ EverGRO FS | Cost Per Pound | Pounds of Feed to Convert to 1lb of Gain | Cost Per Pound of Gain |
| PLF 14% Piedmont Grower | $10.47 | $0.21 | 7.5 | $1.57 |
| PLF 15% Extra Calf | $12.50 | $0.25 | 5.0 | $1.25 |
| PLF 16% Ultra Gain | $12.95 | $0.26 | 4.0 | $1.04 |
Currently, most calves at the market are bringing over $3.00 per pound. Therefore, farmers are still making almost 200% return on investment with feeding their calves. In summary, not only do these feeds offer quality nutrition, but they are priced so that our farmers can succeed.
