[QUOTE="chippie, post: 574153, member: 5644"] Can you post pictures of your cattle? I am a bit confused. You say that they are in a feedlot, then you say they are out on pasture? If you are giving them a lot of corn, check their poop. I bet that they are pooping a lot out and not utilizing it. If you are going to feed them, a commercial beef finisher or ration would probably work better than straight corn + the dry supplement. I agree with the others, about ages and weight. 1 year old and close to 1000 lbs for a grain fed steer is not uncommon. At 17 months, they should be pushing 1300 +, unless they do not have the genetics or frame size to get there. Genetics play a major part in frame size and muscling. [/QUOTE]
