[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 483606, member: 7439"] I am aware that I didn't do it right. I've raised a number of feeder calves in the years since. If you read my post you would see that I DID NOT just throw him out on grass. He had sweet feed from the time that he was able to eat. I was not basing my statement about hanging weight on personal experience, but on what others with experience told me. They will gain quickly, but they do not convert as efficiently as many beef breeds. I agree that the nations cowherd is mongrelized. I never drylot when I am feeding. The feeders run on about an acre, and are fed several gallons per day of Tindle Sweet 12 or Southern Style, with extra corn added toward the end. I feed hay as well. I have a list of satisfied customers, so I must be doing something right. I like to think the Hereford link has something to do with it... No offense taken or meant, just wanted to clarify. [/QUOTE]
