[QUOTE="simtal, post: 764095, member: 14339"] You need to wean these calves early, atleast by 120 days (60 is probably the earliest you would want to do, or atleast after cows hit peak milk). Take these calves and step them up on feed. These will probably be atleast 225 day cattle, depending on starting weight. Advantages of this would include: good marbling, cattle convert very efficiently (5.5 or less), and tender beef since the cattle are so young. Feed costs are pretty steep with this and cattle don't finish at a heavy weight. [/QUOTE]
