[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 263408, member: 1715"] They can gain between 0.5 and 2.0 pounds per day on forage ONLY. Average managment usually results in 1.5 to 1.8 pounds per day for steers, with heifers are about 10% less. It is hard to make any profit at less than 1.5 because the fixed costs just eat you up. Green 5 to 6 wt continential cross steer calves on grass / legume mix do the best for me. If you supplement enough they can do 2.5 to 3.5 pounds per day. It is pretty easy to increase production by supplementing but you really need a sharp pencil! [/QUOTE]
