[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1694328, member: 24986"] The comments about your Sim/Char are interesting to me. I have a similar situation. This is a Hereford heifer I bought back in February( on the left in the picture). It looked to weight about 350 lbs. At the same time I bought a hereford/brahma cross heifer (on the right in the picture) [ATTACH type="full"]6826[/ATTACH]that looks to be the same age and size. Other than being treated for respiratory they have been fine. Now, six months later, the hereford /brahma cross looks to be 750 lbs and has nearly caught up with a Charolais heifer that is a couple of months older. The straight hereford may be 500 lbs at the most( that's like 1.1 lb/day gain) . They are all on the same feed, minerals and have been wormed twice now. I don't think any amount of feed for any length of time is going to make that hereford to grow or gain any marbling. Any thoughts? Should I just cut my losses on the hereford? I was planning to sell the hereford/brahma cross in September and probably send the other one off at the same time. [/QUOTE]
