I've got a group of young animals (mostly Charolais) that flat refuse to gain weight. They look like hell.....skinny and long-haired for some reason. I think a significant part of the problem is genetics though I have no way to prove it.

They've been vaccinated, wormed, etc....have been given extra rations, have been pastured, have been corraled and fed....in other words, I've tried everything and, for the most part, they're not improving or are improving at a snail's pace.....and summer is approaching rapidly.

If I could get them fat enough I'd slaughter them all but I doubt anyone would touch them right now because they look so puny.

What do I do?
