[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1414183, member: 20360"] Boondocks, In my opinion, 30 days on green, new grass does not finish a steer adequately unless you have been feeding them some high-powered high protein hay up to and through that period. Up here that would be clover heavy second cutting or alfalfa. With our May grass, its just too washy for them to really get the energy they would need to marble with. We shoot for having steers ready by June 20 to finish. By the first week of June the clover is very heavy and thats 3 weeks of some real candy for them. You might be a week ahead of us as far as grass goes though. Also, my opinion and $3 will get you a Genny Cream Ale at your bar. [/QUOTE]
