[QUOTE="dcara, post: 100415, member: 473"] When I feed out mine (Red Angus) I start with a 600lb steer and target for a weight gain of at least 2.5 lbs/day but I usually get better. I like them to finish close to 1000lbs. It takes me close to a month to get them up to full power/feed. If you ramp them up to fast you run the risk of assidosis. I use a 60/40 mix of corn/oats with loose mineral in the feed. They also get free choice hay. At full power/feed they get approxiamtely 17lbs of feed a day. I feed 8.5lbs in the morning and 8.5lbs at night. [/QUOTE]
