[QUOTE="Aaron9876, post: 1432603, member: 24778"] Hello all, I have a steer that i intend to take to the "spa" after a 90 day corn finish. I'm looking for some guidance on when to start that process. No cattle scale...based on my last round of measurements (6/12/17) Heart Circumference: 66", Length:46". Using the Heart*Heart*Length/300 equation that yields 667 lb. At 1.5 lb/day he should currently be around 712 lb. Based on the photos below taken a few days ago i believe he is closer to 800-900 lb but i'll admit i'm not experienced enough to visually judge these things... If i assume 2 lb/day gain on corn * 90 days = 180 lb during the finish process so ill need to start him around 1000 lb. Looking for some confirmation on both estimated weight and my plan for finishing.

I'm not sure what breed it is but given the looks and the type of cattle around here (North Missouri) ide guess some type of black angus cross.
