[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 242162, member: 968"] Continentals can grade at a young age. We only had four on the Cornell feedout program - 2 Feb & 2 March '05 steers - purebred Simmentals. Graded: HCW 879# Ch+ YG 1.6 sold CAB Days on Feed 148 HCW 863# Ch YG 2.0 DOF 181 HCW 825# Ch YG 3.0 DOF 181 HCW 847# Ch YG 2.9 DOF 181 We had the only carcass out of 208 that YG 1 and graded. The majority of the cattle were straight Angus & RA. There were heifers & steers - some fed under a conventional system and some under Natural system. Ours were conventional fed steers - 89 total conv steers: Total Cost of Gain average was .53 (.43 - .74 range) ours were .48 .51 .51 .52 Total cost avg $302 ($215 - $383 range) ours $308 $339 $347 & 342 Total receipts average was $970 ($692 - $1283) ours were $1283 $1191 $1089 $1118 Return to C/C producer avg: $668 ($380 - $1014) ours were $976 $852 $742 $776 By the way, in order, the first two are Macho sired calves, the other two were sired by two different red bulls (they were red).
