Popis: Seven trials conducted at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln feeding similar diets were used to evaluate HCW change over the feeding period and to determine the influence of corn price on profit potential on a finished BW and HCW basis. Regression analysis of DP change over the feeding period was used to calculate HCW gain and HCW transfer in relation to BW gain. Economics were calculated with diet costs at $3.50, $5.50, and $7.50/25.4 kg corn price and cattle marketed at 75, 100 (1.2 cm of backfat), and 125% days on feed on both a BW and HCW basis. Results of the analysis demonstrate HCW increased quadratically (P
