[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1684400, member: 14585"] 180 days x 2 lbs day = 360 lbs + 750/800 = 1110/1160 lbs 2.5 lbs day = 1200 to 1250 lbs 800 lbs at 23 months, sounds like his winter ration was only enough to grow his frame and maintain his weight. Hopefully the grass he is on now is a lot better than what he ate this winter. Corn is expensive, but I'd grain finish him for 123 days by starting him on 5-6 lbs of grain August 1st double it to 10 lbs day with 92 days to go, on September 1st and on October 1st I'd start dumping him all the grain he'll cleanup for the final 62 days to his butcher date on Thursday December 2nd and I'll bet he is going to be delicious and everyone will have a Merry Christmas. :) [/QUOTE]
