[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1652456, member: 38101"] I would recommend not guessing about nutrition. I use Cowbytes software (I'm sure there's others) to develop my rations. I input feed test results or if I don't have they have approximate values for many different feeds built in. It's difficult to answer your question directly because so much information is needed. What's his weight now? What do you want him to weigh and when? What's the temperature? What's the temperature going to be next month etc.? How much mud in the pen he's in and what's the average wind speed? Most importantly - what feed do you have on hand and what's the protein and tdn of that feed? What are you willing and able to purchase to feed him? I'm sure I'm forgetting questions... For $50 and a bit of time you can develop a ration, play with it and change it as conditions and your animals change. I can't explain enough how valuable it is to have an accurate idea what your animals need and when. You can easily save what it'll cost you. [/QUOTE]
