[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 245864, member: 4094"] The reason we start so early is so we dont have to push so hard in the end. When we get them home they usually weigh around 450-550. We start them out slow, like 1% of their body weight, them we move up o 2% of their body weight, by December. By tag in (in Feb) they are weighing 850-900 and we can switch them over to finisher. we switch to finisher so soon only because it can be hard to get finish on them when they are in a cooler barn. :roll: I guess its what works for you. As you can probably tell we spen a lot of $$$ in feed. :shock: but its worth it in the end :P ~Britani~ 8) [/QUOTE]
