[QUOTE="kscowboy, post: 646218, member: 6726"] you'll need to feed him out for 90-120 days , work him gradually up to about 10-12 pounds of corn a day , two feedings. In a perfect world , good hay / grass / minerals , he'll gain 2.5-3 lbs per day after you get him going good. Just make sure they are eating aggressively , if they start to leave some or go off feed you gave em too much , slow increase is good. start with a few lbs and work your way up in weekly increments. Some will feed more grain and / or different combinations , I stop at 12 lbs cuz I'm chicken and don't want em grain sick which I did once and the steer never seemed to flourish really well after that , search the board and you'll find a ton of posts.
