[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 1079168, member: 8192"] I'm hoping you fellas can give me some opinions.....we have about 200 mixed sex charolais weaners in a southern feedlot on a maintenance ration. The weaners weighed about 385lbs when they went in - much smaller than we usually wean them due to our drought conditions. After a month there, the lot says they're eating about 22lbs of ration a day each. I just can't find the composition of the ration at the moment and have forgotten it exactly - but it is mainly silage with some barley and cottonseed. We find it hard to believe the weaners are eating that much at that size. What do readers think? Hubby went and had a look at the weaners and didnt think they'd changed much since induction into the lot. They are supposed to gain about 2lbs a day on the ration. [/QUOTE]
