Was it a bag between 2 or 3. I have a lump of a Fr rig on about 9-11 kgs/day( he is in with a few other and on a hi-maize ration and barley added) he has come into FS 3 in about 120 day. I never went above 14% ration finishing even bulls and generally dropped it to 10-12% for last third at least of the finishing period. Never exceed 10kg by much and for long and also had silage in the diet. I can only feed once a day which is a disadvantage but usually get friesians into FS 2= to 3-. with most in the 2+/3- range

I had a few lads that all finish cattle look at him lately and they all said he'd grade an E and FS was 2, they all agreed that unless I dew half of Kerry co op to him he would never get enough fat cover on.

A neighbour that sent a load today aswell and he just rang with the grades, the Agent must have been in contact with him. Just wondering what do the finishing gurus think they're going to come into. The cow killed 424kilos he couldnt remember the grade but she might have scraped into an R. The 15month old bull killed at 299kilos U+ 1+. The 16month old Heifer killed at 287 kilos O+ 2+. That's all the info I have on um anyway and im not QA.
