Ok, you don't usually see this problem here, but I have a calf that's growing like a bad weed in a wet summer. He's a march 2010 calf we purchased last fall weighing somewhere around 600lbs. We weighed him Sunday and he tops the scales at 999 lbs and he's probably 52-53 inches tall (hip). He's looking good and he's proportional size wise but I'm not sure we want him growing this fast. He's gaining something around 4.5 lbs per day! We have been feeding him with 2 others and they are all doing well be he just shot up and out. He's a Unforgiven out of a Homebrew cow and I'm wondering if he's going to end up 6 feet tall and 2000 lbs. How do you slow one down or do you think he'll taper off soon. Our show is in August, by the way.
