[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 107228, member: 61"] Don't set your self up with a time limit. The determiner as to when to sell has more to do with calf weight and grass availability. If they are on a slow ADG 10 months may not be too long if they started small and you want them heavy. You have to look at you market and determine your cost of gain and how much you will be paid for the gain. Feeding steers on grass can dramatically increase your cost of gain if you are not careful. If you do feed the calves anything be sure that it is just a supplement to help them digest the grass better such as protein. Do not be afraid of lower ADGs. Watch your grass constantly and adjust your socking rates accordingly. [/QUOTE]
