[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1634590, member: 38038"] 18 - 24 months should get you to a good butcher weight. switching it over to full grain will speed up the weight but you also have to worry about frame size. A small frame with a lot of fat is not a good butcher candidate to me. I like to feed enough grain with free choice pasture or dry hay until 3 - 4 months before butcher and then increase grain to add marbling and weight. I am no expert, but that is what I like to do and meat has so far been really satisfying. [/QUOTE]
