[QUOTE="Otha, post: 1757944, member: 41397"] Here's the short story. We've got 2 steers on feed to be butchered in about 90 days. For the last 30 days they have been on free choice coastal bermuda hay that tested 15% protein and around 8 pounds of a finisher feed that claims 14% protein and 4% fat. So I have been playing around with the Cowculator and can't seem to get it to show them gaining more than 1.6 ish pounds per day unless I plug in a unrealistically high feed intake on the hay. Changed the finisher feed amount from 5-20 pounds doesn't change much of anything. I need some help here, not sure what I am doing wrong or not understanding. Also looking at switching to a cheaper feed but need to figure out the Cowculator first before I know how changing the feed will affect things. And if the Cowculator is correct then I just need to quit feeding the finisher all together because its costing several dollars a day. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
