Steer Rate of Gain

[McIntoshFarms]

For those of you that won rate of gain with a steer, what was your total overall weight gain.  The steer we are feeding should finish around 1400, which would put his gain at 725.  We were just curious if we were in the ball park.

I won with 3.77lbs/day at my county show, total gain of 690 lbs. The steer ended up weighing 1290 at 12.5 months of age--mid July steer in an early August show

We are gaining 4.5 lbs/day and we have 16 days until we tag in.  So I think we are close.
