[QUOTE="hayray, post: 564421, member: 3046"] I don't have any actual weight data as of yet and I am finishing as oppossed to stocker. I have a group of limo and Angus cross heavy weights that were started this winter in the feed lot and have been turned out since May on some Zorro Italian Ryegrass mixed with medium red clover. My first concern was that intake would go down too much if they over loaded on the lush grass and clover, as my first attempt was to get some good protein in the diet but not cut down on the whole shelled corn too much, so I strip graze in narrow strips. I am real happy with the finish so far and think they are ahead of my feed lot steers. I have seen people attempt to finish on pasture before and seen the steers end up a bit of lack of finish looking more like a low select, mine are looking pretty good now. So I would be pretty confident that stockering could be done real well on this combination. The ryegrass is real lush all summer and a lot higher yielder then the orchardgrass with low inputs.
