[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1537193, member: 26621"] Age and weight would be relative to breed, feed program, and conditions. A simple rule for a small operation would be to ease him up to 20+ pounds of corn a day, and keep him there for a hundred days. Also never hurts to have a pen of them, as they seem to do better in a crowd. I would not butcher that calf yet, unless I was really hungry. I agree that Ballentymes day would be a nice target, but that might even be too soon. [/QUOTE]
