I feed about 25 or 30 per year to sell direct (wholes or halves). I keep them in a 500'x60' pen. They are farm raised (1/4 Simmental, 1/4 Angus, 1/2 Charolais). Feed are round bales, free choice of rain damaged alfalfa, free choice wheat, rye, or triticale baleage, and 60# of ground feed daily (ground feed is 450 # ear corn, 50# soybean meal, 100# of 16% "heifer developer" pellets with rumensin (coccidiosis control and increased feed conversion). I add just enough wet molasses to control dust. ADG's in the mid 2's. Local co-op grinds feed for me (sold my grinder, they can do it cheaper than I can). Feed costs: pellets ($9.00/cwt), ear corn ($6.00/cwt), SBM ($9.00/cwt); grinding, sacks, and molasses ($20.00/ 1000#). I wean calves 500-600 (7-8 mo old in August), feed 180 days.
