[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 297"] i have a similar question as does jessica. i have someone wanting me to feed out a couple of calves. i have never fed out any, so i am asking for those of you with expericence with this to help me out here. i want to have good quality beef, but have many questions.. like.. steer or heifer? some say feed corn and cottonseed meal mix, others say it doesnt matter. all my life i have heard the phrase "corn fed beef".. what feed is best? is wheat good? what breed? how does a charlois cross do? or a hereford? i think the size wanted here is to take a 500# calf and feed it out for about 100 days.. if i had to guess, i would think the calf would weight in the range of 700# by then. is this an ideal butchering size? i know personal perferences come into play, but i dont have one yet and any help i could get will be greatly appreciated.. thanks gene [email=genemax@rabofla.net]genemax@rabofla.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
