I am feeding 12 pounds hay and 4 pounds alfalfa per steer.Plus i have a barrel with mineral in it.(what ratio of mineral should i have in there? i just keep it full) i was asking what you guys think should i add some grain to there feed? and take out some hay? or just add grain on top of that i went off of this table from the Ontario cattlemens assocation the weight is in kilos times by 2.2 for pounds.( i already converted it for the ease of readers. thanks for your help.
