Average Daily Rate of Gain

Lambs  .7 lbs per day to reach ideal market weight of 130 lbs

Swine 1.8 lbs per day to reach ideal market weight of 260 lbs

Beef 2.5 lbs per day to reach ideal market weight of 1250 lbs

EXAMPLE 

If the show is August 3rd and today is June1st,   you have  63 days before the Show.  Lets say your lamb weighs 75 lbs.  

If your Lamb gains at the average rate of .7lbs per day then by August 3rd it will have gain = 44lbs which equals 119lbs. 

119lbs is below the ideal weight   So. . . . . . .

You will need to implement some practices to increase the daily rate of gain.  You need to increse the rate of gain to .87 lbs per day.   .87lbs x 63 days = 54.8 lbs

54.8 lbs + 75lbs = 129.8lbs
