[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1002197, member: 5381"] "If he lost more than three percent somethings wrong." Skeeter I don't know if you own a set of scales but I recently bought a set and it is a real eye opener how much their weight will vary from day to day and how much they do indeed shrink. I was expecting 3-5% and was surprised to see so many of them at a much higher rate. It turns out it is not that unusual. It is also a real eye opener how quick they will quit gaining and actually start loosing when your grass starts going south in the fall. I would suggest you weigh a few of your own before they leave the farm and then see what you get paid for before making a statement like you made or give us some a story where yours are only losing 3%. I would like to make a effort for my own benefit to copy your technique. [/QUOTE]
