[QUOTE="J, post: 237086, member: 2167"] Sorry we got away from your post. ADG varies from 1.0lb-3.5.lbs per day, depending on the animal, its history, the breed, weather conditions, quality of what its eating, etc..... Growing cattle have an energy requirement for both maintainance and gain. Basically there is a certain amount of energy required that results in no loss (maintainance). Then there is an additional amount of energy on top of that, that is required to actually puts pounds on that animal (gain). Basically if you put them on good grass and hay, with plenty of fresh water and loose minerals along with vaccinations and worming they will do all the work, but you have to provide them with what they need to grow. Just my thouhgts though.. :) [/QUOTE]
