[QUOTE="lovehammer, post: 1038375, member: 20753"] I'm no expert by any means so take this with a grain of salt. I always wait for the steer's empty scrotum to start collecting fat. In my experience, when the scrotum fills out with fat the steer is as finished as he's gonna get. I usually supplement hay (and minerals) with grain or sweet feed for 2-3 months before butchering. I minimize the amount of walking they do when finishing, no need burning off any fat, so no grazing. I'm interested to see what other folks have to say about this. [/QUOTE]
