[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1102620, member: 21626"] Thanks VCC! Right now I have them both eating 20 lbs per day of AgPartner's Beef Show Grower (min. 13% protein, not sure on fat %) with nice free choice hay. I guess I should have stated above that my county fair is August 5-10 (beef show on the 6th), and state fair (my planned terminal) is the 22nd-31st of August (3 shows, 2 encampments). The Shorthorn has a Compudose implant, but it still has a couple weeks left of the 100 day period. The Baldy I am experimenting with, he has never been implanted but wasn't cut until 7/8 months of age. I don't plan on implanting the baldy because after the fair I am going to try direct-marketing his beef. Also, I never really was counting on doing well with him because he is holstein-influenced and would end up going up against $40,000 commercial show steers from Iowa. I just decided to raise him because I need a steer to practicing clipping on, and I want to try marketing the end-product directly to consumers. What implant should we try after the Compudose expires in the shorthorn? When should we start looking at a finisher? My nutritionist told me at weigh-in to just keeping pushing them at 2.5% of their weight in grower, but I'm not sure when we need to switch to a finisher. [/QUOTE]
