[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 383805, member: 852"] What ingredients are in the feed? like corn, barley, oats, pellets, beet pulp, cottonseed... the list goes on. What are you attempting to feed him now? How about hay? how much and what type? Does he have another steer in the pen with him? Exercise? Have you been weighing him on a regular basis, and if so, what's his previous average daily gain (ADG)? What breed is he? 200lbs in 3 months shouldn't be that hard, IF he'll eat. First thing to do is determine WHY he's not eating. It appears that when he does eat, he's eating a little over 2% of his body weight (2% would be 14lbs), so that's [u]good.[/u] He just needs to eat at least that every single day. Also, do us all a favor and take your caps-lock off; it's hard to read all posts written in all capitals. I'd rather have all letters in lowercase than caps if it came down to it. :lol: Thanks!
