Extract
Enhanced economic sustainability may be achievable by upland beef farmers if they could finish weaned suckled calves on-farm using purchased feeds, rather than selling store animals. The objectives of this study were to examine voluntary feed intake, growth rate and carcass slaughter parameters of weaned bulls from an upland suckler herd finished intensively from approximately 9 months of age using a cereal-based ration.
