[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 283230, member: 4892"] Regarding finishing on grain or a mix of grain & hay/pasture. Bear in mind these questions may sound rather silly. Do you just restrict access to the pasture - keep your steers elsewhere and offer them only hay and grain? Just wondering about the logistics of it. Nice thing about grass fed is that all cattle can have access to the pasture with very little work on my part having to regulate any specific feeding schedule for the ones being finished. I have an area which is a riding ring right now which I figured I would use when feeding hay in the spring time so that the pasture didn't get too clobbered when the ground was wet. Figure I could use this for steers I was finishing off. Could also try to time finishing off when there is snow on the ground and no access to pasture anyway and just mix hay and grain. I don't really want to keep my cattle confined to small area when finishing them and I don't think this should be necessary right? How do the rest of you handle the logistics of separating the cattle that you are finishing? [/QUOTE]
