Fast-Gain Cattle Are Profitable
Fast-gaining cattle yield higher profits in feedlots than slow-gainers. A 0.10 lb daily gain can cut roughly 35 lb of feed per 100 lb of gain, while higher gain rates spread maintenance feed over more gain and shorten days on feed. Genetics explain about 55 to 60 percent of gain differences, with environment and ration affecting speed. Promotions and sourcing top performers can boost profitability.
