[QUOTE="holsteincowboy, post: 942493, member: 19120"] It's hard to go wrong with the Moorman's or the like pellet with the whole shelled corn in a self-feeder approach to raising holstein steers, but have you seen the price of corn lately? I'd be willing to spend a little extra time and effort to save a few bucks on the total feed costs by using some other sort of byproduct or method. I've been doing some research on corn stover treated with calcium hydroxide combined with ddgs and supplements in a tmr. The studies I've seen make it look attractive versus the high energy, self-feeder diet mentioned above, but I'm not sure if it would be profitable with the steins. Anybody using something along these lines with the dairy steers? [/QUOTE]
