[QUOTE="mitch2, post: 627912, member: 6621"] We grind cob corn, add some oats, mineral and salt. As they get closer to finished we then start adding in a bit of shelled corn to it. We then put it in a "steer stuffer" so they can eat whenever they want. It is amazing how they tend to "self-time" their feedings with the corn. They seem to put themselves on a twice a day feeding morning and evening. I have never had an animal founder that started on our program that was born on the farm. Every one that foundered was an animal that came in as a heavier weaned, even if we ramped it up to full-feed. I have not figured this out yet. But luckily we have built up enough of a herd now that we do not have to purchase outside of our own animals. I only finish as many as I am able to, without buying feed. And we have already started taking orders for next years finished animals. So, I am happy that we are building a good rep. Michele [/QUOTE]
