[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 1592977, member: 14533"] I'd probably bump their feed up to 12-15#/hd/day over the next 2 weeks. Keep feeding them that way till they get to ~900 pounds, then cut the protein back to 11% and feed 15#/hd/day. Do that for 3 weeks then cut back the protein to 9-10%, and give them all they can eat. Also have some dry hay sitting out for them all the time, they probably won't eat much of it but they'll have it. Bit simpler method is keep them out on pasture longer, and keep feeding them the 14% at an increasing rate, till they get about 1000#. Then feedlot them for the last two months on full feed at about 9% protein. Which would be about 85% corn. SBM with dical and minerals would work fine, medicated pellets work better, but either will do the job. SBM will make the fat a bit of a yellow color, see if your picky in-laws notice it. :lol: [/QUOTE]
