[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 583377, member: 7856"] You'll probably get a lot of answers that you will have to sort through. If you can get a uniform group put together the final sale group you sell will bring more money. Not just color but size and body confirmation etc. As whoever buys them can sell them as a bigger group also. Just because you start with a uniform group doesn't mean they will all grow the same but you will have a better chance of it. I Suggest that you start them the first 48 hours on hay and plenty of fresh water and maybe a 1/2 to pound of feed per day them increase the grain over 4-5 days to a week to3-5 pounds/hd/day. I wouldn't feed much over 5 pounds at anytime as your goal should be to capitalize on the stockpiled grass and if you give them too much grain they will get lazy. Good luck. I hope you have good weather. [/QUOTE]
