[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1849980, member: 39122"] I've always been told to never feed anything with molasses to cattle that are being finished because it will cause the meat to have an off taste. I usually finish them on the same ration that I feed when they're growing but have real loose stool at this point due to the protein. These were already 18 months old when I bought them so no need to grow any frame therefore no need for the added protein, corn is cheap and protein is not. Their stool hasn't been loose for the most part and they were cleaning up the corn good until that humidity hit, probably only thing I wish I would've done different is fed whole shell as opposed to chopped to reduce the risk of acidosis. I also forgot to mention that I mix calcium carbonate with the corn as well to help reduce the chance of acidosis. [/QUOTE]
