I started custom feeding weaned bottle calves for a few growers that are feed customers of mine. This group is 16 weeks old and eating 12.4 lbs per day of my 16% calf grower feed. They should weigh right near 400 lbs.
A big cattle guy near sold a small herd of heifers to a young couple who were starting out. At the end of the summer, the cattle hardly gained any weight.
I think, like some people, some cattle just don't gain weight, no matter how much they eat. Anyhow, the young couple went broke and had to get jobs.
Packing on the pounds
