[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1727409, member: 16453"] They are weaned early autumn and weight range of 3-400kg. I feed a 14% grain mix through a lick feeder that I can accurately control the rate of feed usually around the 1.5% BW/day. They have to leave it when their saliva dries up so then go and graze and then come back to it. They are on low quality stockpiled grass. I weigh them every 2 weeks to make sure the rate of gain is OK, usually I like about 1-1.5kg/day and aim to have them all at least 600kg for when I market them in early spring as yearling bulls ready to do some work.
