For 350 lb calves, it's around 2 to 2.5 lbs per day, depending on the quality of the grass and hay. If the feed is poor quality, the daily rate of gain will be lower. If the feed is of high or good quality, then the rate of gain will be higher.

How much weight do cattle gain in feedlots?

There is no one solid answer you're going to get from this question. Weight gain depends on the breed, type, age, type of diet fed and the nutritional content of this diet, especially in terms of energy content (TDN or Total Digestible Nutrients). Environmental factors also have an effect on the performance of feedlot cattle in terms of average daily gain. Finally, it depends on what time period you are referring to in terms of total weight gain: Are you asking about average daily gain (ADG), weight gained per month, or total weight gained over the period cattle are confined to the feedlot?As such, the answer to this question remains up in the air without these factors being answered first before the ultimate question--the one posted above--can be really answered. However, I can give you a ball-park estimate as to the weight gain expected for cattle on a feedlot.Depending on breed, cattle are expected to have an average daily gain between 1.5 to 3.0 pounds. As mentioned above, it all depends on the diet formulated for them, as not all cattle will gain the same way on the same diet. Cattle are divided into groups according to age, breed, body condition and response to a certain diet given to them, and fed according to that particular group's energy requirements in order to achieve a certain average daily gain that is optimal (never maximal) for that group.


Formula for calculating ADG in cattle?

What is the average daily weight gain of cattle from birth to a slaughter weight of 1100 to 1200 pounds?

It depends on the diet of the cow, the birth weight and the live weight at slaughter. A typical steer on a grain diet in a feedlot will reach 1100 lbs in 15 months. He might start out with a birth weight of 85 lbs (ranging from 65-110 lbs). So his average daily gain from birth to slaughter would be 2.25 lbs. On a forage diet, it may take 18-24 months to reach 1100 lbs.
