[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 329166, member: 4094"] I don't know if ther is Acco here in CO. If there is, I'm not real sure where the dealers would be. Angus Girl, what part of CO are you from, maybe I can point you in the right direction of someone who carries a good feed ration. As for how I start them out. We usually start with just a few pounds of grain at first, usually like 4-6lbs/day. They stay on that for a week or so, then we add another 2lbs or so. Keep adding some grain every week until they are at 2-2.5% of their body weight. If they havn't had grain before you want to take it slow. If your steers need to be thicker, the only thing that is going to help that is fat, and that will come along when they get bigger and older. :D [/QUOTE]
