Calves averaged 24 pounds and gained 2.43 pounds daily at a cost of 10.08 per 100 pounds. yearlings gained 2.15 pounds daily at 13.89 for 100 pounds. two-year-olds gained 2.18 pounds daily at 14.48 for 100 pounds. Returns ranged from 13.45 to 27.41 per head, suggesting feeders can pay higher prices for light calves. Mineral supplements improved gains, with iron oxide and a bone meal lime stone mix yielding 2.623 pounds per day gains.
