weight gain

I have two 18 month old blue heiffers. They are approx 550 kilos. Eating good silage. How much 16% protein nuts should I feed them per day to butcher at the end of January? What weight should I be aiming at? Thanks.

I think you should be lookling more at Energy than Protein.
Protein is necessary for growing but energy is more important for finishing.
