[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1850742, member: 39122"] I would definitely find a good feed in bulk. I would not feed sweet feed, mostly corn or as mentioned barley diet is needed for finishing, I don't know much about barley as it's not popular in my area. Seperate the steer from the others. Feed him 5lbs/ day for a few weeks and gradually ramp up feed until he's eating at least 2% of his body weight in grain daily. I usually bump up their grain intake every few weeks by 5 lbs/day until I hit that 2%. They will get to where they are eating 20-25 lbs/day, once I get over 15lbs/day I start feeding twice a day.
