[QUOTE="rusty, post: 8052385, member: 689"] I have 45 Lim and Stabilizer cross heifers and steers that are 17 months old and about 420kg. They have been on grazed grass only last summer and high quality silage and whole crop wheat TMR from when they were housed at the end of November. I have sold 9 as stores recently and was a bit disappointed with the price for the last 5 which averaged about £1.85 kg. The first batch I sold were around £2.00 kg. Looking at finished prices in the market yesterday I thought they would be worth about £2.30 finished at around 550kg. My question is how much would it take to finish them of grass in about 4- 5 months. They would be on decent grazing. How much supplementary feeding would they be likely to require? I would only keep the heifers or the steers, my brother in law will take the others. [/QUOTE]
