weight gain

If one gains 50 pounds a month, I am pleased. Grassing calves as I call it depends more on the type calf. I look for a group that appears to have the potential to crow frame: charlois cross, black sims, etc.

how much will a steer gain on pasture

Depends on the breed or cross, AND what type of grasses you got on your pastures

But with our Limflex, and other Limo crosses, we get usually around 1.5 - 2.5 per daily gain.

red and black angus on pasture grass

Anywhere from 0 to 3 lbs/day.

Here are some variables that will affect your outcome:
1. Age of the calves.
2. Starting condition of calves.
3. Season.
4. Type of 'pasture grass'.
5. Soil fertility.
6. Moisture availability
7. Temperature
8. Fly control
9. Mineral supplementation.
