[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 271983, member: 2095"] Jake that makes no sense at all too me. If a steer doesn't finish with his set of cattle, it would seem to me that it would be better to just accept your loss. Sell him as a cull either on the rail and risk the utility grade or sell him with the cull cows for burger meat. Pouring feed into one month after month hoping for a different result seems like the road to the poor house. IF all the thing ate was his maintenance needs, 8lb/day x 365 days , you would be putting a ton and a half of feed through his bowells in a year's time and I bet he eats twice that and most of it goes straight through him. I can see keeping some lite calves an extra month or two; but beyond that your just pouring good money after bad. [/QUOTE]
