[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1634888, member: 39695"] I used to manage a elderly neighbors feedlot. We grew them on silage and shell corn then once I got them up to around 25lbs of shell corn a day we would turn them loose on a self feeder of straight shell corn with a little 40% supplement. They would get limited access to corn stalks just for some scratch to keep their stomach working. It was always a little "hotter" ration than I really like, but this neighbor had fed cattle that way all his life. And you can make them FAT if you don't burn them out. If they weren't 15-1,600lbs and yield grade 3-4 he wasn't happy. [/QUOTE]
