[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1187337, member: 20360"] Hate to burst your bubble, but the other guys are trying to put it nicely. There is NOTHING you can do to finish off a steer at 8-9 months old. You are jumping the gun by at least 6 months and more likely 8-10 unless you plan on putting it on a very consistent grain plan where you really ramp it up. Like the others said, there are plenty of guys on here who can give you a good feed schedule to finish out a steer on grain, but there is no one who has figured out how to do it in 8 months. We finish all ours on grass only so I can't help you there other than to say if you want to do it that way, you better have some good pasture with some forbs and legumes to finish him on. [/QUOTE]
