[QUOTE="Calhoun Farm, post: 1037390, member: 19637"] My dad and I have decided to sell our angus cattle and start finishing steers. Several things brought on this decision but mainly the ease of handling and short turn over time. This is a new area for us so I'm looking for advice. Do any of yall have a program you follow in terms of taking 300lb steers to say 700lbs? At the moment we have 8 and will be buying probably 15 more once we finish selling our angus momma cows. Right now we are letting them free range pick grass and feeding a 14% co-op blend developer in the evenings. Roughly around 1% to body weight ratio with plenty of fresh water. Is 6months a rational time frame to sell them? [/QUOTE]
