[QUOTE="Brand, post: 1257622, member: 23314"] Some of these US top Show Steers you see on the internet have been on feed for a long time. If your corn is rolled, flaked, crimped and your hay is not coarse I would think you would get at least 3 pounds ADG minimum. If you don't something is wrong with your genetics or management. Do not get me wrong many county fairs in the US combine ADG (that is over 3 pounds per day) using a weigh in date etc and the live show as well as a ultra sound or actual carcass contest. Those cattle are more realistic for actual cattle production but it still has the faults sometimes a pretty common steer that is just average in all those traits win. A lot of state and national shows are only a show and usually older steers win those. I think you ration is just right for heifers but I sure would like something to add to the corn. I sure wish I had your alfalfa hay. I am looking for oats for my rations finding good oats is like winning the lottery here. [/QUOTE]
