[QUOTE="ROB, post: 487894, member: 3467"] it is low. could you further explain...your general location, how old and at what weight are the calves when you start feeding them...how long are you feeding them...what do you use for your protein source...how much corn and protein are they getting...quality of hay...health and condition of calves...and anything else you think might be informational. are you including death loss, i.e. are you figuring total pounds of calves sold minus total pounds of calves that you start with divided by the days on feed (which might include death loss during the feedout period). with a little further explanation we should be able to figure out why you are only getting a 1.11 lb/day rate of gain. calves i feed out will typically average no less than 3.5 lbs/day gain, steers & heifers, while on full feed.
