[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 251135, member: 1715"] I bought a Tru Test scale and some 530 to 600# steers in March. I supplemented heavy during a 7 week dry lot period and during the grazing period. Everything but reed canary went brown in the drought so I sold the heavies on 7/13. Spot checks showed: * 2.9 to 3.4 lbs/day ADG during dry lot backgrounding * stayed at that rate while we had good grass so I felt OK that I did not starve them during backgrounding * heaviest steer was a 1,030 pound Charlois cross at 3.8 ADG * lucked out when the heavy feeder market rebounded :D Love those Charlois X calves that the black fanatics do not want to buy! Had some Simi X that did almost as well but I had to pay alot more for them since they were the "right color". [/QUOTE]
