If you're developing cows for a particular environment and feed management, give them the food they will be finding, the ones that make it make it, the ones that don't will fall out. Genetic potential means nothing if it's not the right genes. Grain inputs around here are expensive, no one grows corn or any other grain in the area.. Why would I spend money developing cows that need grain? Grass and mineral, maybe a lick tub for the first time calvers before breeding, that's as much as I'm willing to give them.
