[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1039739, member: 18809"] Thank you! That steer is a Built Right sired steer, with his dam being a BC Lookout x GCF Cayenne cow. He was her first calf, and did not have the power to stay a bull. I was surprised at how big he ended up, since she is about a 5 frame cow. She is an easy keeper, always good looking. She is raising us an embryo calf this spring (Steel Force) and has another embryo calf in her for next January (another Steel Force). The kind of cow I like! Here is a pic of her and him when he was a calf: [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/herd_shot_aug_12_i2.jpg[/img] The feed cost was calculated on an individual basis since each kid fed their steers differently, at home. I need to do ours still, but you can bet it was less than the others since he was on pasture with supplemental grain. I am eager to see if his carcass fat looks any different, since the others were on grain with a small amount of hay. I have heard it will be more yellow, but he was not strictly grass fed, so I am not sure if that will be the case with him or not. [/QUOTE]
