We fed 1/2% of body weight for probably 6 months before bumping up the intake, at around 1000 pound live weight. Meat is wicked good. Bought bulk corn from co-op and that's cheap feed.
Also I wouldn't expect fat deposits now. Additionally finish weight can also depend on frame size and growth potential of each animal.
That's awesome, good to hear some good feedback on some good meat! I booked butcher date for Sept 14th! This will be my first steer raised and butchered. I have so many people asking for beef... time to try to find more to finish out!
That's great! I think the key to our business is more consumer direct sales. Keep it up!
