most growth will also be over after 60 days but mine usually gain a pound or two till 90 days old.

I think Martin means a pound or two per day till 90 days.

yes most of the growth occurs between days 0-60. but the growth between 61 and 90 is not insignificant.
last year at day 60 my biggest was estimated at 717 lb. at weigh off day it was estimated at 846 lb. a 129 lb difference (just over 4 lbs per day) which is 15% of the total estimated weight.
