[QUOTE="OBAX, post: 1832774, member: 24445"] I do believe in growing steers as fast as possible. That being said, I’m only feeding my steers 60 days, 75 at the most before I market them. I really cannot get them too fleshy and fat in that timeframe, so I try to feed them to gain for my advantage. But on the replacement heifers that I keep until breeding age, I see that they indeed do catch up by 14 to 16 months of age without being too fat that it affects their breeding ability. The heifers will grow in structure rather than just in pounds. If I was keeping my steers to finish, I believe there would be an advantage for me to grow them the same way. It all comes down to maximize your check according to when your calves go to market. [/QUOTE]
