[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 748610, member: 7509"] I am sure you are correct. I am going to run them across the scales and as long as they are close to 1100 lb they are going to go. I made some quick changes to my corn grazing system this past weekend adding a temporary waterer so the steers for spring processing will be 100% grazing ear corn for the next 2 or 3 weeks. If they average 3 lb/day for 21 days that's another 63 lb on them. They are just coming up on 12 months old. Think of it maybe like veal... That's what I mean about grading. IF this is very tender, lightly marbled beef it will be what I am looking for even if they have not gotten to the maximum/usual finishing weight. What I saw from last year is that if I take them off of corn and back to grass only they lose a bit of that corn finish fairly quickly. Thanks for the observation. Jim [/QUOTE]
