Backgrounding Yearling Steers to 850 lbs. on wheatgrass using SweetPro Blocks. Ed Anderson starts the steers on SweetPro non-molasses "Kaf Starter", then "Kaf Kandi". He finishes the steers with SweetPro16 and sells them at 850 lbs. after the 4th of July under better market conditions.
He also runs a cow/calf pair operation and is weaning the calves at 100 lbs. heavier than the same age cattle bought at sale.
Ed also notes, that in addition to the money and labor he saves using SweetPro, the Wild Hogs will not eat the blocks. This also save money. SweetPro blocks are "Profit Blocks".
