[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 120295"] SF I am with ollie on part if his post - but - I think if it does not pound your budget you need to buy a scale for the critters. You need to know exactly what they weigh when you start them on feed. Then you can get some accurate numbers. I disagree with ollie on one point though. I figure you needed to feed them a bit longer. BTAIM I always figured marbling and rib eye to be more genetic than just feed. Probably more than one person will disagree with me but that is MHO. Pretty decent rib eye for one of them miniatures - might try a different feed mix as well. We have had some very good results with our home grown mix of whole corn, a tiny bit of whole soy beans and some oats or barley with molasses on top. High quality hay and mineral as free choice. You might try some additional genetics - got any possible prospects in your world? Still think you might catch the local niche market in a big way if you watch your genetics and work at the finishing. Regards Bez' [/QUOTE]
