Would you mind helping Val gain that much? lol. Im giving him a bag and a half of Feedrite Beefgorwer each day and I doubt he's over 1100. :(

Take care

lol jeez ACS! bubba's in a pen with 2 other animals, i feed em twice a day, 24 pounds each time so he's gettin about 16 pounds a day. the way i figgered since i last weighed him, he's been averaging 3.2 pounds a day gain :shock: they're on a mix that's supposedly 60% bull grower pellets and 40% cracked corn, but the stuff wasnt mixed very well so its mostly bull grower. im gonna have to give him a lil bit of calf manna too to help him finish out :D

50lb bags? :shock: That'd be 75lbs/hd/day! :eek: :shock:

If he's not putting on at least 4lbs/day - and I'd be thinking more like EIGHT on the standard 1:9 ratio (gain per pounds of feed) - I'd be seriously reevaluating my feed and management. In terms of $$$ it'll break your bank account to put that much feed into a calf without a really good "return". Worming can do wonders for weight gain - or lack of. Either that or he just doesn't have the genetics for that feed conversion.

Taz looks great, MCG............are you taking him to the fair, too? Great news on Bubba.........bet he's a gorgeous thing. Where's his pic? And I love the design of your planner.........very nice, and if ya keep practicing, someday you'll be as good as Jinglebob! :nod:

ACS, that does seem like a lot of feed to me, too........hope he doesn't founder on it (or do cattle founder? :???: )
