[QUOTE="OSUCowboy, post: 641575, member: 10448"] I want to start raising steers again for slaughter. I haven't done it for several years so I'm a little rusty. I want to put together a cash budget of inputs/outputs. I can probably get prices from the local mill but I need help with the quantities and timing. Suppose I buy a few head of angus or angus cross calves weighing about 400 lbs. They will be on Oklahoma pasture. I won't use implants roids/hormones so I can market natural. In the past I have used a 14% creep feed. How much feed do I need to suppliment during the spring and summer? How fast should they grow? How long do I wait and what should they weigh before I move them to a pen to finish? Then how much feed and hay during the finishing period and for how long? How much weight gain during that period?
