[QUOTE="SF, post: 120298, member: 1171"] I don't disagee with anyone on feeding them longer. I chose not to, because I have set a target age of 12 to 15 months for slaughter. May have been a bit optimistic this year, with the dry conditions. Calves were in poor condition when I brought them in off of pasture to put on feed. Then tried finishing them in the hottet months of the summer May have lost a month or so there. But, this is the real world, so they must make it in real world conditions. I think I have some new genetics growing out in the pasture. He has bred 4 or 5 heifers this summer. You've seen his pics. He is the one we are training the horns on. I think genetics have a lot to do with carcass results. Going to pull in a couple early spring calves and put them on feed and try pushing them a little harder and see what the results are. We'll weigh them this time. If you don't mind, send me your feed mix recipe, I'd like to try it. Thanks Greg [/QUOTE]
