[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1805927, member: 39792"] I have 2 steers and 2 heifers that look to be around 800lbs. Trying to project ahead on when to process. I do finish them out on grain for a minimum of 4 months, last year I did 5. The butcher shop I normally use is closed Nov and Dec so latest I could use them would be mid October to have them out before November. My question is, what is the average rate of gain per lb of grain given? Trying to calculate if I should make a date for mid October or wait until first of Jan. I could also use another shop but much further away. Will get pics today so show them! They are good looking at fat right now, we had a lot of rain so we’ve had plenty of grass, unlike the last several years here in Northern Ca. [/QUOTE]
