[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 739965, member: 7509"] What is a typical Average Daily Gain for 900-1000 lb steers in a feedlot? I want a benchmark to judge how my grazing-standing-corn steers are doing compared to a feedlot. My scale is frozen under a foot of snow and ice so I won't be able to weigh mine for awhile. They will need to come off of the corn in about 30-35 days. Last weight I have is at weaning, Nov 14th, 2009. One steer for example (#6209) was 700 lb even actual. As of March 22nd it will be 163 days since weaning. Some of that was on hay only but if I take 700lb actual + 163 days x 3.0 lb/day = 700 + 489 = 1189 lb projected weight as of 3/22. Does that sound reasonable? I would be pleased with anything over 1100 lb at processing. What might I expect? Jim [/QUOTE]
