[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1837448, member: 39180"] We never found out the cause of death on these cows, however I took a shot in the dark and dewormed them with ivomec plus and I also used a product called valvazen from zoetis. Started using minerals daily as well and came up with my own schedule on vaccines for clostridium, derriengue and anthrax. Vigantol AD3E from Elanco and Multimin 90. In regards to weight gains. Grass fed your anywhere between 1/2lb to maybe 1 1/2 lbs per day maybe a smidge more. Feedlot I’ve heard crazy numbers(to me it’s crazy) but I don’t know it’s true, I’ve heard 3-4 1/2 lbs per day, most of the beef is select grade. Unless you buy imported beef from USA, Nicaragua or Argentina then you’ll have access to prime. People down there for the most part eat their steaks very well done/charred and if you serve it rare or med they will tell you it’s not cooked. I would say only a small amount of the population knows what great steak is. I do know that there are a few wagyu beef producers down there but I think they are still trying to aclimate the herd to the tropics or are crossing them with another breed. I have thought of using Simmental or senepol to cross but I’m afraid to do so because I think our herd is too commercial I was always under the assumption you get a better cross when your using two animals that are pure blood or close to it.
