[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1684380, member: 968"] Sounds like he has been starved. A Sim/Char (or ANY breed) should be a LOT heavier, even if just on grass at 2 years old. Had he been real sick as a calf? Maybe you are way off on your guess of his weight?? At the rate of gain he has performed, he won't be much heavier. I would guess he is stunted and won't have much gain even with grain. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, if he weighs 900#, weighed 50# at birth and is 700 days old, that is 1.2#/day gain so far. Is the Angus/Hfd 2 years old also? In all reality, he should easily weigh 1000# at the age of 18 months. I must be missing something?? [/QUOTE]
