[QUOTE="Jacob, post: 1724435, member: 13472"] I have started feeing out steers as well. Getting butcher dates way in advanced and feeding to those dates. Our steers will be 15 to 17 months. We wean and steer in may and coast them along over the summer. This year we started really feeding them the first of October about 2% of body weight. Have weighed and adjusted feed 2 other times. We feed CPC developer as well because it’s easy and in the feed truck. That’s what our bulls are on too but I’m debating to top dress 6 to 8 pounds of crack corn the last month to see if helps with fat and marbling. Since October calves are gaining 3.2 pounds a day average. First process dates will be February 8th. Goal live weight 1300 pounds Goal hanging weight 750 pounds we sell everything by the whole/half or quarter and not by hanging weight so it’s important for me to get as close to these numbers as possible. We pay processing and get paid before We take to processor. [/QUOTE]
