champion animals has made winn
ning synonymous with profit, said
Chuck Bell In some cases, that’s
translated into people paying ever
high prices for project animals
without regard to basic
economics.
Before buying an animal, youth
and parents need to understand
how the purchase price affects any
potential profit or loss. Bell said
To teach this information. Bell
and colleague David Miller, a
farm management specialist at
Ohio State, devised a series of
materials that help people easily
uuibUMM raniliny, aaiumai, MuyiiM w, inrwn
calculate the possibility of making
profit, or at least breaking even.
Separate handouts for steers,
feeder pigs and lambs chart the
necessary sale price per pound
given die purchase price of the
animal, feed and miscellaneous
needs. The handout also provides
