[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 55565, member: 587"] Steers with good genetics will gain at least three pounds per day, and should do it on less than six pounds of feed per pound of gain. This is based on Hereford/Angus with the right kind of bloodlines. Not only have I seen the data on this, including a copy of an actual feedlot report in Hereford America magazine,(In that case, it was 5.2 pounds per day gain, out of steers sired by BB Cattle Co. bulls, over a hundred head.) but I have experienced it in feeding butcher calves and a show heifer. If you go to the OBI website and look at the results of the bull test, you will see that the top Hereford bull gained 5.6 pounds per day, while there were a few Angus that gained over 6. I might add that there were many more Angus on test than there were Herefords. Frankie has posted this website in the past so it is already in the archives. :) [/QUOTE]
