¹NF designations are Noble Foundation experimental strains. XB and XR designations are experimental blends developed by Seed Resource. TX designations are Texas A&M University experimental strains. RSI designations are experimentals developed by Resource Seeds, Inc. Seed of this experimental material are not commercially available.

²Grain values per bushel: rye, $5.60; hard wheat, $2.70; soft wheat, $2.30; triticale, $1.80; and oat, $1.55; barley, $2.10.

³Forage value: approximately $3.66/cwt for oven-dry forage.

assumptions:	1. stocker calves: average daily gain (ADG) = 2 lb. 2. consumption: 3% (0.03) of body weight 3. average weight: 600 lb./calf
calculations:	1. 600 lb. x 0.03 = 18 lb./head/day. 2. 2,000 lb./ton divided by 18 lb. = 111 animal days. 3. 2 lb. ADG x 111 animal days = 222 lb. of gain. 4. $0.33 = custom rate for 1 lb. of gain; 222 lb. X 0.33 = $73.26/ton = $3.66/cwt.

⁴Forage yields and influencing factors are reported in publication number NF-FO-02-02.
