Someone may find this interesting, or I may learn from the comments. Anyway here are the results of this year's finishing of 9 steers and one stag. They were angus stock, with a few having simmental mixed. The animals were bought on March 15, five were butchered on 9/14, the other 5 on 10/11. They were on good grass and clover pasture during this time. I fed a little training grain all along, but hit them with a little over 1% of body weight a day of 50/50 corn/corn gluten for the last 90 days. The first ton and a half or so of fed also had 10% soybean meal mixed in. The first number below is the weight on 3/15, the second the live weight at butcher, the third is the hanging weight. The first listed was the stag.
