[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 207629, member: 102"] We used the 80/20 mix on young bulls with free choice hay last winter. Pretty good results but I don't think it put quite enough finish on them. Had a group of heifers on 80/20 but they were getting too fat, dropped them to 60/40 and they were consuming around 1%. This was on good hay though, not pasture. I wouldn't hesitate to run steers on 80/20 and pasture to grow them, but based on the ultrasound results from our bulls which showed very low backfat and less marbling than I had expected, I think I would finish them on something else. Take this with a grain of salt, as we're still learning about it too. Lee [/QUOTE]
