Calculating Average Daily Gain for the Fair
Information Needed
- Current weight of your steer
- End weight of your steer
- Number of days to reach the end weight
Example
Current Weight = 700 pounds
End Weight = 1400 pounds
Date of the Fair = August 23, 2019
Number of Days Until the Fair = 229 days
End Wt. – Current Wt.= Pounds Needed to Gain
1400 – 700 = 700 pounds
Pounds to Gain ÷ Number of Days = Average Daily Gain
700 pounds ÷ 229 days = 3.1 pounds per day
