[QUOTE="Cowgirl, post: 3368226, member: 3213"] Interesting averages - it makes me feel a bit better about what our steers achieve during their lives, (which works out at about 0.7 - 0.8 kg /day), since they are rare breed cattle and totally grass fed. We are still not very experienced but they seem to take until about 27 - 28 months to be ready but not too fat. We are definitely not starving them, preferring for them to grow steadily, but of course others would not be satisfied with this. Really poor doing cattle, which there must be for this to be an average, presumably are more likely to be suffering from chronic infectious or parasitic diseases, and controlling these is where the potential for improvement lies.
