Market Animal Feed Efficiency Calculator

Use this calculator to predict a steer's final weight for your Junior Livestock Show.

How it works

The number of days until the fair are multiplied by the average daily weight gain and then added to the animal's current weight.

Example

(Average daily gain(ADG) [0.6 lbs/day] / Pounds Purchased [2.2 lbs]) = Feed Efficiency [0.27 lbs]

Feed Efficiency Ratio =

Feed Efficiency Cost per Pound

Use this calculator to estimate a steer's daily gain.

The animal's beginning weight is subtracted from its current weight. The difference in weight is divided by the number of days that occurred between weights.

Example

Formula goes here...
