This program is a special application of FLCALC modified to estimate the necessary purchase price of feeder cattle with the objective of a feedlot breakeven. To facilitate easy use, feed cost is computed from corn price per bushel plus a fixed markup for feedlot margin and feed additives. Using the price of corn to determine the cost of a feedlot ration is based on the assumption that all the alternative feeds are priced in relation to corn.
