Weight Gain

[Anonymous]

Under average feed lot condition, feeding 80% corn what would be an average expected weight gain per day on steers/heifers.

Thank you!

This depends on the weight range of the cattle being fed, the frame (small, med, large), and the health. I would guess most feedlots aim for 2 1/2# - 3#. Although some cattle will gain 4# or more. Jeanne
