[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 704913, member: 7645"] If a calf weans off at 600 lbs (205 days). To get to 1100 lbs he would need to gain ~500 lbs in ~150 days. That's 3.33 pounds per day. He won't ever do that on grass. Really, that is good performance in a feedlot eating a balanced hot ration. Actually for that kind of performance, a big growthy, late maturing type of cattle is your best bet not an early maturing type which will be laying on fat after the first 100 days on feed. [/QUOTE]
