Simple really. All you need is a scale, and weigh your herd one day, then 24 hours later weigh them again. The difference of the average of your herd is the ADG.
But in more mathematical terms, ADG is calculated thus: weight gain / number of days on feed = ADG

How much weight do cattle gain in feedlots?
There is no one solid answer you're going to get from this question. Weight gain depends on the breed, type, age, type of diet fed and the nutritional content of this diet, especially in terms of energy content (TDN or Total Digestible Nutrients). Environmental factors also have an effect on the performance of feedlot cattle in terms of average daily gain. Finally, it depends on what time period you are referring to in terms of total weight gain: Are you asking about average daily gain (ADG), weight gained per month, or total weight gained over the period cattle are confined to the feedlot?As such, the answer to this question remains up in the air without these factors being answered first before the ultimate question--the one posted above--can be really answered. However, I can give you a ball-park estimate as to the weight gain expected for cattle on a feedlot.Depending on breed, cattle are expected to have an average daily gain between 1.5 to 3.0 pounds. As mentioned above, it all depends on the diet formulated for them, as not all cattle will gain the same way on the same diet. Cattle are divided into groups according to age, breed, body condition and response to a certain diet given to them, and fed according to that particular group's energy requirements in order to achieve a certain average daily gain that is optimal (never maximal) for that group.

I'm looking the average daily gain of Dexter cattle?
The average Dexter cow will produce about 2-3 gallons of milk a day. As far as weight gain. That all depends on the animal. All bovine animals will grow and change them most in the first 6-8 months but after that their gain varies. Usually steers grow the most in the first two years. Then their daily gain goes down. Bulls more like the first 3 years they really grow. A heifer will be nearly grown at 1.5 years.
