Here is my daughter's Simmy cross steer. He weighed 952 lbs today. His ADG has been 3.18 for the past 2 months. He's eating 12 lbs of Martindale finisher twice daily (6% fat) and free choice hay. We plan on possibly taking him to the Texas State Fair (October 2 or 190 days away) with our tri county fall festival as a back-up. I expect his ADG to slow down in the upcoming Texas heat but we have no experience holding one back. If he continued at this rate he'd be 1550. Would you
a. keep him at 12 lbs per feeding (8 finisher 4 beet pulp) or
b. swap to a developer ration of 11% protein and 3% fat or something else?
Any other advice is welcomed. Thanks.
