[QUOTE="Ian1890, post: 4705130, member: 41740"] We buy all BBX heifer and bull calves and rear on the bucket. Wean at 8-10 weeks on 18% nuts and begin on TMR at 12 weeks. All turned out to grass, usually just one summer, then brought indoors on grass silage, rolled oats, minerals, small amount of straw and beans depending on protein level of grass silage. Moved onto finisher ration at 18 months av 580kg. Finisher ration is just grass silage, 8kg/hd/day rolled wheat, small amount of straw, minerals and limestone flour. On av killed just before 21 months. Av live weight of 680kg. av dead weight of 375kg. Used to grow and feed maize but it became too inconsistent to grow. Cost per tonne could vary a lot from one year to the next dependant on yield. Grade sheet from this weeks kill below. We don’t normally sell this many in one go, it just worked out this way.
