[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 314500, member: 1399"] We had a steer one year that we were going to show and he fell apart, he got grain from 500 lbs to 800 lbs and then I turned him out in pasture till he was about 1,100 lbs brought up and fed him grain for 2 months before butchering and he tasted great and was good and tender. I by no means am an expert on the science of feeding out a calf besides full feed for a show steer. But I always thought that feeding corn the last few months or few hundred pounds before butchering was enough to give them a good marbling and taste. That the feeding grain from weaned was more for finishing in a quick time frame. I would be interested to know if I am off on my thinking of this? [/QUOTE]
