[QUOTE="phillse, post: 333749, member: 5684"] Back when I showed steers. I started them of on a ration I had ground at the local feed store. Stared them out on free choice hay and fed them twice a day whatever they would consume in 15-25mins. As they began eating more, I decreased their hay intake and increased feed intake. It varied year to year but a my rule of thumb was 2 squares out of a suare bale of Alicia or costal bermuda grass hay ofr 2 steers, and however much grain they could celan up in 25 mins. twice a day. This equates to a 1/2 a 5 gal bucket starting off untill increased to roughly 75-100# a day of grain for 2 steers. The steers (shorthorn x Angus or Shorthorn x Simmental) consistently gained 3.5 -3.96 lbs/day on feed. I can't rember the formula for the feed and the conversion rates of feed per # of live weight right off hand. I will look up my old notes and get back to you on those two things. [/QUOTE]
