[QUOTE="kscowboy, post: 620130, member: 6726"] with todays corn prices you might want to be a bit strategic on when you finish them. In an ideal world if you can leave them on pasture during spring and summer and not be investing in corn during that time you'll be ahead of the game. I think I have figured out that during the severe cold and severe heat that the gains slow down considerably on the holsteins. try to target finishing in either april-june or sept-nov to get the most bang for your buck on corn costs. The little buggers will eat you out of house and home. My beef breed calves seem to just crank right along and show the benefits of feed but the holsteins seem to be more reactive to the weather issues. May be all wet and i don't mind feeding but i want to see return on it. Get the best hay you can find for them also. [/QUOTE]
