[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1017853, member: 378"] I like to worm them witha good injectable to start with. Give all the free choice hay or grass they want. If they are not use to grain, I start them out slow and work the amount of grain up to the point they are getting a full 2.5 gallon bucket twice a day (what ever that weighs :? 15/18 lbs a day???). Sorry I just start grain them a lot. For grain I mix a 50lb sack of 14% livestock blend with a 50lb bag of rolled corn. I'll grain for 90 to 100 days, make sure you let the slaughter time restriction expire on the wormer, I believe 46 days on ivermectin. Let hang in cooler for 16 to 18 days, I usually start witha nice young healthy steer around 18 to 20 ...... Or so months. In the freezer at around two years of age. Then I apply small portions of freezer steer to hot grill, cook to medium and serve with corn on the cob and bake potatoe, heaven butter and bacon bits and a cold beverage of choice. IMO, you can ROUGHLY figure you will get 60% of live weight for hanging weight and 60% of hanging weight for cut and wrapped weight. A little more if you keep liver, brain, tounge, tail, bones, etc. Enjoy, just don't let the kids name him .... I may be hard to eat Fred or Sam, or Big Mac etc. :D Alan [/QUOTE]
