![]() For example, the <500 group had the lowest average weight purchased of 305 pounds as well as the lowest average weight sold of 1,193 pounds. When looking at the average weight per market cattle sold, we see that the smaller the animal was when purchased the smaller the animal was when sold. The priced paid per hundredweight (cwt) is the highest for the <500 and 500-750 groups while the 750+ group paid almost $6 less per hundredweight. Table 1 shows the twenty-year average on weight and prices for each of the three groups. On average, the majority of FBFM feeder cattle operations purchase their feeder cattle between 500 pounds and 750 pounds. Those groups are less than 500 pounds (<500), 500 pounds to 750 pounds (500-750) and 750 pounds and greater (750+). In this study, the feeder cattle operations are separated into three categories based on the average purchase weight of the feeder cattle. As with all livestock operations in Illinois, the number of useable FBFM feeder cattle operations have gradually been coming down, going from a high of 165 farms in 2001 to 61 farms in 2020. To help answer the question regarding the differences based on the weight purchased in feeder cattle production, we will look at feeder cattle operations enrolled in Illinois Farm Business Farm Management (FBFM) over a twenty-year period (2001 to 2020).
