[QUOTE="Keren, post: 586791, member: 3195"] Hey MM, he's decent. Long bodied, he's very green but shows natural muscle expression, particularly from the rear. Good long rump (hip to pin). He could feed out alright. Sorry about this but I work in kgs. He is 500 lbs now = 227.25 kg. You want him 1350 - 1380 lbs at the show = 613.64 - 627.27 kg If you have him at 620.45 kg on show day that puts you right in the middle of that range, giving you a bit of room to play if he grows out better than expected, or if he loses a lot of weight during transport. Taking into account a 1.5kg/day growth rate (I have had some do better, some do worse) you are looking at 262 days on feed to get to that weight. Does this add up with the show? Hopefully I did the math right. Anyway, I dont mind him at all. Interesting to see how he grows out. [/QUOTE]
