[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1639968, member: 16453"] I develop my bulls for sale from about 20 months of age and weight 600-700kg (1320-1540 lbs) at the end of summer on a 16% protein grain mix with free access to dried summer grass and later barley straw. The grain mix will be fed at between 2-3% body wt / day. I taper off the feed as they approach the target of the lighter ones reaching 850kg but the top will be near 1000kg by sale time in mid August when most will be just over 2 yrs of age. These are black Angus bulls and do whack on the weight very easily. Ken [/QUOTE]
