1. Can I create my own spread charts?
We're sorry, but unfortunately our software does not offer the capability to create your own spread charts.
However, MRCI Online subscribers have unlimited access to over 70 Special Spread Chart files!
2. Does MRCI ONLINE include any Cattle Crush or Butterfly Spread Charts ?
Unfortunately, we do not include these type of spread charts as part of any of our services.
However, we may be able to set up something custom for you...
If you are interested in a "Custom Order" price quote, please email us your request in detail.
Please make it as specific as possible. IE - like what ratio's and months....
Custom orders are just $49 for a minimum order of 7 charts and then $5 per chart thereafter. Charts can be emailed, viewed online, (at a specific unique web address) or even mailed (for an additional $10 printing fee plus S&H).
If you choose to view your charts online, we can update the charts daily!
Note: a small additional fee and a nominal quarterly maintenance fee will apply for this additional service.
Please note: there may also be an additional "set up" fee depending on the complexity and time that your order requires. However, we will disclose ALL fees upfront before we start working on your order.
Here is a sample of a Cattle Crush custom order: http://www.mrci.com/melissa/crushsample.pdf
2. I’m looking for updated versions of the charts found on pages 142 and 143 of your 2025 Live Cattle/Feeder Cattle Report.
Would it be possible to modify the formula as follows?
I use 4 live cattle, 2 feeders and 1 corn as my crush unit. I like the crush to be charted in the same way a feedyard would recognize it on a p&l statement: Revenue (live cattle) less expenses (corn and feeder cattle). Here is the formula I use:
((( 4 * LC * 400 ) - (( 2 * FC * 500 ) + ( Corn * 50 )))) / 136 head
This is equal to ( Total Revenue $ - (Feeder $ plus Corn $) ) / Number of head in a unit
