[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 120267, member: 1604"] Update on first 30 day period of test: Bulls are averaging eating 18 lbs. per day each which comes to $1.08 per head per day in feed costs. Very disapointed in ADG...bulls are only averaging 2.5 lbs. per day each. I attribute it to extremely hot and humid weather. This only equates to 75 lbs of gain for each calf in this one month period. Cost of gain = 43 cents per lb.(not including grass) Feed efficiency average is not very good either. 7.2 lbs. of feed for 1 lb. of gain is VERY average. Maybe it will cool off and I will have a better report next month. [/QUOTE]
