[QUOTE="mdt192, post: 1609054, member: 28762"] Hello all, looking for some advice. I’ve got a group of weaned calves that have had been vaccinated and are on feed for about 45 days. They are receiving 4#/day/head of a 14% commodity blend and free choice first cutting grass hay. This is costing me around $1.10/day/head. Shortly, I’ll begin skipping the commodity blend feed every 3rd day and put the calves on ryegrass pasture for a few hours. The steers are around 575# and gaining 2.75#/day. Heifers are around 535# and gaining 2.30#/day. When would be the optimal time to sell these calves? I am open and originally planned on holding these calves until the spring run. However, I am concerned that my local market has little demand for 750#-850# calves. [/QUOTE]
