[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13878"] I agree with Jason. If they are ready at 1000# and you feed them to 1100# all you are doing is producing fat that will be trimmed onto the packing plant floor. The last animal we fed out (a black baldy) ate very little corn. He was processed in June and so the grass was good but he would eat very little corn, although he was allowed as much as he wanted. He was also a bit of a runt his entire life and was not as heavy as I would have liked but his weight was good for his frame. The animal proccessed out at about 57% of his live weight and the marbleing was very good. If we had fed him longer he would have only put on more fat.
