Tracking 3 pens of calves all together bc they all came in together & same size Worked a pen of em today (ruffly 25%) and these were 20# ahead of ipad. That would make em grow about 2.65 These were fed in the barn tho...we'll have to see how the other 2 outside pens weigh
@sippingsuds I’d love to hear how cattle compare inside versus outside over the long run we’ve been feeding them inside a barn now for over 10 years but we have abandoned the outside pens at the same time so don’t have the side-by-side comparison
@tjeichstadt @sippingsuds Since we’ve been finishing cattle in the shed I’d say our average market weight is up at least 100 pounds and if we had a bad year I’m not sure you’re 250 pounds ahead of where you would otherwise be. I think of all the calories we wasted when cattle laid on frozen cattle yards
