I've been feeding a pelletized feed from FRM for about 16 days. I started around 8# per day and am up to 12# per day. The cattle have access to pasture that's still green, but backing off in a hurry. The steers were around 550 on the low end and 625 on the high end prior to first feeding. Have been straightened out for about 100 days.
About 80% are blowing up and looking great. 10% are coming along but I suspect may be the bottom end and were behind to start.
The remaining 10% is where I need some help. They look terrible. Seem to be losing weight. Diarrhea seems to be a major contributor. I don't have any hay out. I thought they would get their roughage from the pasture. I had in mind them eating the grass down to help with my ryegrass planting next month.
Any help is appreciated.
