[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1706881, member: 24074"] So after about 65 days of grazing (wanted to go 90 but things come up) I pulled the 72 annual group calves and 53 fescue calves and ran them through the working facility. First impression of the two groups was the annual group was noticeably slicker and cleaner. Fescue calves definitely had more matted mud on their rear ends and were not as slick. My hypothesis was they were lying around more than annual group. Also the fly load on the fescue calves was considerably more. Annual Calves 1.47lbs per day Fescue Calves .85lbs per day with a little extra feed but not much. I still need to do total cost per gain but again was interesting to see. [/QUOTE]
