Subject: Roy, would like your thoughts



I had a 400# steer last January that caught pnuemonia and I had to doctor him clear through most of March.  This summer he gained some weight but was too light to be sold with the rest so I kept him figuring next spring I may be able to sell him with another group.

He has lost weight with the cold, had been around 570#, now back to 500#.  Feed intake is as good as the other steers, just bad lungs so conversion is poor.  Do you think it is possible to get him to 600 or 700# for butchering in late summer?  Currently on free choice brome hay, some oats hay, and a grain mix, about 1/2 gallon grain a day.  (Oats, milo, wheat, bean meal mix)
