[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 705162, member: 3235"] Brandon, have you fed any cattle lately? I think that if steers can't gain 3.5lbs a day in the feedlot, they are below average. I know of pens of cattle that average in the upper three to low 4 lbs per day. Just for discussions sake I quick looked up a couple of steers I sent to the National Hereford feedout. #W19 BD 5/31/09 Dam --0117, In wt 575 Out wt 8/15/09 1480, ADG 4.67 for 185 days #W20 BD 6/1/09 Dam --0331, In wt 580 Out wt 8/15/09 1445, ADG 4.46 for 185 days I will let you figure WDA. Got to go finish loading semi. Both cows are purebred cows that have been moved off of my TPR list as they haven't kept up with what I want. They both are a little thinner harsher made cows that won't weigh over 1200lbs in good condition. Brian [/QUOTE]
