    When I put a beef in the lot to feed out they are about 13 months old around 1000 lbs or so,just guessing. I was buying some from the mid 8's to 1000 to feed and fed them for 45 days, turned out fine. Kept some for me and sold the sides. I use a 15% grower/finisher until the last 14 to 21 days...

    Cow Down - Imput needed please

    Great news. Glad she is back on her feet. Hopefully she will continue to get stronger. I would keep her separate from the others for awhile, I think good food and rest will help a lot. We kept the one heifer apart for a couple weeks before we let her back. :banana:
