[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1596156, member: 33135"] We direct market about 18-20 per year and we feed 1.5-2% of their bodyweight until they reach about 800# and then start increasing feed until they are eating about 20# feed/hd/d. Then we start introducing our "finishing feed" that is 1800# WSC and 200# of local mill's "Tender Beef" product and free choice hay and pasture (while it lasts). They go on a self feeder once they area eating 20# of the WSC mix. So far, we've never had an issue with acidosis and they do VERY WELL on the mix. We've finished some moderate framed steers in 14 mos. and larger framed steers and heifers in 16 mos. Some of the heifers are older than that due to the fact that we roll over any replacements into feeding program that do not get bred in first 30d of breeding season. Most heifers are in the 1150-1200# range and steers in the 1250-1450 range. Meat is fantastic. [/QUOTE]
