Beautiful bull calf. Most of my beefmaster cows are that big. All they have to eat is grass and cubes once a week. We are trying to hold off on the hay for another week or so. But I don't think the grass will last.
IMO, I don't think it cost that much more a large frame cow to feed. I have 6 limo cows that weigh over 2000 lbs. They don't eat no more than anything else. They are maintaining their weight,just as our beefmasters do.
It really depends on what they are eating. We just have fertilized coastal pastures. They have their mineral tubs & blocks.,salt blocks,loose minerals.
