ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLE
A sliding scale adjustment will be utilized when the averageweight of the cattle is more than (+/-) 10 lbs. from theadvertised average weight. In this example a $.03 priceadjustment has been established. This means a $.03 per poundadjustment is used when the average weight of the cattle is morethan 10 lbs. from the advertised average weight. The adjustmentswill be announced on sale day to reflect the market.
A lot of steers that average 750 lbs. selling for $75.00/cwtwill be subject to the adjustments in the examples below.
Average weights between 740 to 760 have no adjustments.
Average weights less than 740 or greater than 760 lbs. areadjusted (+/-) $.03 per lb.
All adjustment pounds are calculated from the advertisedaverage weight. Price adjustments will be established to reflectmarket conditions and will be announced before each sale.
Steers averaging 780 lbs. have an adjusted sale price of:$74.10
780 - 750 = 30 lbs. 30 x $.03 = $.90
$75.00 - .90 = $74.10
Steers averaging 830 lbs. have an adjusted sale price of:$72.60
830 - 750 = 80 lbs. 80 x $.03 = $2.40
$75.00 - 2.40 = $72.60
The reverse is also in effect!
Steers averaging 705 lbs. are adjusted to $76.35
750 - 705 = 45 lbs. 45 x $.03 = $1.35
$75.00 + 1.35 = $76.35
Steers averaging 670 lbs. are adjusted to $79.80
750 - 670 = 80 lbs. 80 x $.03 = $2.40
$75.00 + 2.40 = $77.40
ADJUSTMENT FOR DELAYED
DELIVERY
All cattle that are not picked up within 10 days will have theaverage weight increased two (2) pounds per head per day for eachday over 10. Special arrangements made to hold cattle beyond 10days without penalty must be made and agreed upon by both theconsignor and the buyer.
Steers sold to average 750 lbs. that are picked up 5 days latewill be adjusted to 760 lbs.
5 days x 2 lbs./day = 10 lbs.
750 + 10 = 760 lbs average
