[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1230537, member: 9096"] One of the gelbvieh breeders I know has range cows, and some of his mommas come back with 800 lb'ers.. no supplements... My better cows will get well into the 700's on grass alone. When I start to see much over 800 lb 205 day weights i'll only use those to compare from the same ranch, because they must be feeding them drastically different.. I'm thinking LOTS of grain and goodies, in other words LOTS of extra expenses that no normal cattle producer would ever be able to justify. My 11 month old bull is somewhere around 1000lbs I think, I think he looks really good, meaty and well built, but not fat.. Again, seeing these 1400 lb yearling weights sure makes me wonder about the feed.. I'm quite happy if I get 3 lbs a day gain consistently.. when it's getting into the 4-5 lb range for a year there's gotta be some tricks being played. [/QUOTE]
