TSC and most feed stores sell cracked corn but if you're looking for cheap that could be hard to find.

Two local mills here are offering $8.70 for corn this morning . Corn delivered to lancaster county mills is over $9.00

He needs a buddy .

Sometimes it takes a little while for them to eat grain if they never had grain before , molasses in the feed helps , years ago when we got calves up from virginia we had a batch that wouldn't eat grain and an old neighbor stopped in he said whenever he got cattle in that weren't used to grain...

When I grew potatoes I fed culls when I did'nt have sale for them , when I fed them to steers the feed salesman said as long I didn't go over 10lbs per head per day they would be fine . when I fed them to cows they sometimes got more than that , I never had any problems feeding potatoes. But I...

I use bean stalks for bedding , when you put them in the cows and even little calves will stsart eating them.

It might help if you get him a buddy , cattle are herd animals and don't do as good alone.

Ground ear corn makes good cattle feed . If are picking corn up off the ground make sure it is dry before you grind it. If you don't grind more than what you can feed in a few days a little moisture won't hurt . If it laid on the ground through some heavy rain it could be pretty wet . normally...

I think most antibiotics have a 30 day witdrawal time but there may be some that are longer .

The last three animals we kept for our own use were from the same cow , a red angus simm cross , the 1st two were heifers and the last one was a steer , all were good but I think the steer might be a little more tender.

A bull won't have as much fat as a steer and won't have the marbling a steer will have. That marbling adds to the flavor of the meat .

I think the corn should be cracked or coarsely ground , I grind through a 1/2 inch screen , I use corn oats and barley plus some soybean meal as a creep feed . If you can get molases that would help make it more palatable and they might like it better if they're not used to grain.

Yesterday at lunchtime I caught part of the feeder sale on RFD , prices were still over $1.00 with one lot being sold at 1.30, most feedlots use silage as the main part of their ration but the costs to produce that silage have doubled in the past year . If the fat cattle market doesn't soon pick...

I use tetnas toxiod when I band.

I don't think anything would encourage me to use liquid feed supplements because most of them use urea as the protien source , My father always stayed away from urea years ago when we fed steers and I guess it stuck with me , I don't feed urea. I use soybean meal for protien and as the bean...

You got a lot of good info here on what antibiotics to give them, The only other thing I would do is keep them away from your other cattle( if you have any ) for at least 2-4 weeks until you know everything is okay.

Check their temps just to make sure you don't have other problems.

Put milk on your finger and let him suck on that, then when he has the taste for it put milk on the outside of the nipple and give him the bottle , that has helped for me.

Was this wheat that was to be used for seed? if it wasn't treated it would be fine to feed it , but if it was treated it shouldn't be fed.
