[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1557015, member: 14161"] The heifer calves this year went in at 440 and are being fed a ration to gain 2 lbs per day. It has been mild and relatively dry at the lot this year so gains on other cattle there have been good. There are another 235 heifer calves with them that we bought weighing 496 on Nov 1 I have reports back from several bunches of our calves that have gone out over the years. Most guys that buy don't want to tell you how well they have done so we are happy with the usual, "They did fine and stayed healthy." The light load of steer calves in 2015 went to a guy who backgrounds them and then goes to grass until Sept. The bunch he got were 130, 430 weight calves. They were hauled to a feedlot in Alberta and were limit fed there to gain 1.5 lbs per day. He sold 2/3 of them in Feb. because they got to 800 lbs in 110 days and were to heavy to go to grass with. The light end came back to BC in late April and were sold off good, hard grass in early Sept. weighing 1035 lbs. Makes me happy to know our calves do their jobs well when they go to their next owners. [/QUOTE]
