[QUOTE="griz, post: 46113, member: 668"] We purchased our property this past January and had several people tell me to throw a couple of black angus on the property and they would help keep the grass down etc. So, I went to an auction house and purchased two 600 lbs black angus with the purpose of butchering them this fall. Took them home and everything went great. Four months after arriving one of the heifers dropped a calf. Well, there went that idea of butchering her! Then, about 4 weeks later the neighbors bull tore through our fencing and mounted my other heifer. So, with all of that in mind here are my questions. 1) My calf is almost weaned. I was told I could go ahead and put the mom on corn and that she would still taste excellent in 60-90 days. Is this correct? 2) I was also told to give my now pregnant heifer ludalace and then throw her on corn (she's only 3-4 weeks along). If the above is true, how much corn per day should I give them? What about the calf? Can I throw him on corn as well (keep in mind he's about 2 weeks from full weaning)? The big questions are how much corn and what mixture to maximize size as quickly as possible. I want out of this arrangement asap so the sooner these 3 go to butcher the better. Thanks in advance for your help! Bob [/QUOTE]
