What are peoples experiences on letting otherwise in-spec bullocks go over 30 months?
I always aim to have them finished by 30 months but with some animals I feel they have more thrive left in them and the extra weight will negate the in-spec bonus. I find it especially difficult to get animals reaching 30 months in July/August factory fit as getting them to eat nuts at good grass is challenging. I know there is a bonus of 8 cents for in-spec up to 36 months
Interested to know if anyone and has done this and how it worked out
