[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1629718, member: 28912"] First, let me say that just about everyone else on this Board is much more knowledgeable on this than me and you should take my advice with a "grain of salt". I am assuming that these are for personal use and not to take to market. Since they are already on grain, I would start them out on about 10lb/day and gradually increase that up to about 25lb/day. The one I just took to slaughter was basically on free choice at the end. I can't tell you about which grain to use (I don't know if it will make a difference in taste) but I have read that gluten can give the meat a different taste. Around here I just use whole or cracked corn. As to how long, I really think you have to look at the animal to tell. But it does need to be long enough to make sure you can get those fat deposits in the meat. PS...It does not matter whether they are Angus or not :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
