[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13727"] 800 pounds seems a little light for him to have any finish yet. Cattle will finsh on grass if they have plenty of quality forage availiable and the meat is more healthy, more omaga 3 fatty acids helps prevent cancer. But the best way to determin if he is fat is just to look, he will fill up in the cod and fat will deposit over the tailhead, fat steers will make a poping noise when they walk as well. If he is gentle enough to touch you can tell that way as well. my guess is he will finsh at 1100-1200 lbs more or less considering he is an angus but probably closer to the 1100. [/QUOTE]
