[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 756887, member: 2653"] O.k. I'm playing Devil's advocate: C farmboy just told you that he stocks 1.5 acres per 600 pounds, and that from grass alone (I assume) you can expect to gain and average of 1.875 pounds per day. Bologna. Ask him what he gains on that 1.5 acres in January. You need to do some research yourself my friend! Find out what steers bring at your auction - if that's where you're going to sell. Find out what the difference in price is as the weight goes up. Find out what the difference in price for different animals. No, Ivomec pour on won't get rid of liver flukes. Do you have liver flukes? What do you have in your area? You need to do some specific studying to determine what your needs are. This is the type of information you gather before you get a herd. You buy a group of steers, then come on a cattle board to ask how to raise them? Your going about this backwards. I'm not trying to sound harsh; heck I love to have new cattlemen some into the business, but you have a responsibility to know how to care for animals before you get them. [/QUOTE]
