[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1660329, member: 24816"] Since you are going to have them for six months and have some pasture, I would feed them for a few days in an enclosed area to get them used to feed and you. Then supplemental feed them while on pasture for a couple months. At a point between 3-4 months, I would pull them off of pasture and put them in a smaller area and as others have said slowly build up their feed. I prefer a ration of pretty much corn shelled or cracked, I use shelled. If they don't eat that readily it can be mixed with any basic feed ration that is available and suitable for finishing cattle. I would recommend not feeding anything with corn gluten in it. If it is part of the ration then dilute down by feeding adding a high percentage of corn. [/QUOTE]
