[QUOTE="deenranch, post: 496220, member: 6465"] jvicars, your last post told me more than any other. The reason this calf has more muscle and greater gain is because of the charolais in him. The reason people are telling you to feed him grain is because it will tell you what his calves should do in the feed lot. The avg. daily gain is what the feed lot people are looking for. Cattle that grow faster on less feed: thus Charolais X's. Good luck. I am a seedstock breeder and the last bull I grew out cost $4 to $7 a day on avg for 4 months. I fed him from weaning to yearling then turned out on grass and cubes ( in Texas ). He went from 750# to 1300# in four months. At the end he ate 50# a day ( full feed ). [/QUOTE]
