A little canola oil on that bit of tag and a pressure washer and they'll shine right up again. They look ready for some work-do you get them ultrasounded before the sale.
April 3rd we will be ultrasounding them.
They are plenty dirty thats for sure.They could have been bigger but I did'nt start them on any grain until Dec. 26th
1st 30 days 5#
2nd 30 days 7#s
3rd 30 days 9#s
4th 30 days they want them at 13 #s but I think thats way too much I will get a weight on them if they are close enough I'm not going to push them.
The ration has been 1/2 # soybean meal 1/2# of Mineral and the remainder in shell corn.Plus 19#s of corn distillars syrup which is 68% moisture and grass hay which tested 8% protein.
Cost $1.23 per day and they are gaining 3.1 #s average per day.Average cost per day from start to finish.
