This is a pic of one of last years three way cross steers-I don't have any of this years-I just phoned the feedyard and they cleaned the pen. alot of ranches and cattle will beat us on raw performance and age at slaughter but they did ok. The A.D.G was 4.25/lbs day and the cost of gain was 63 cents. Not bad for scrubby little uneven crossbreds-harvest weight was around 1350 net-to think they only 30-50 percent of the only breed worth raising lol.The new grid is taking some getting used too-we probably fed these cattle 30 days too long because we had some Y3's. were averaging 95% AAA's over the last several years so we can knock some days off feed and still be ok. It would be nice if the beef business could leave all the best colour B.S. behind and just raise and market cattle on their economic merit.
