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 a mart 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 mart? Compare that with your cost of gain on the FeedMath page.

Value of gain: — per lb of gain
