Guys your missing the boat, very little hay is needed to finish cattle, corn and by-products will get the job done, min 13% protein and look at NEG, We can put on 3.5 #'s a day easy, fed them like swine

1st of all it depends where your located, but why would you feed feedlot cattle SBM at it's current price, most DDG is 30% protein 10% fat, it's all the protein you need, if you feeding cp in your mineral your paying for something you don't need, we feed 850 head and our mineral is .4 per head...
