[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1556542, member: 32659"] In the winter time I expect them to gain about 1 pound per day. This is on 6-7 pounds feed and very little pickin in the pasture. If they get any hay at all it’s a partial roll left over from feeding the cows. I’m just trying to build frame and get them ready for the spring grass though. I have fed them 10# a day and got what I would guess at closer to 2#s. Finally got a set of scales going so maybe I can start keeping better records. Feed cost for me is 12 cents a pound this year so 70-80 cents a day. I did have a few health issues with them this year. Once I Dr the herd and it cost $130 and one got a shot of Draxxin that cost $42 if you include the dart. Fuel cost is minimal as I’m right by them feeding the cows. Bigfoot wtote a pretty good post on his experience this year. [/QUOTE]
