Are you talking weaned heifers or are you trying to finish steers for harvest? If you are talking weaned calves 400-700#, you can mix corn, oats and soybean meal into a ration of 14% protein. (your local feed mill will know how much). If you have 700-900# steers that you are finishing for harvest (slaughter), corn is good enough. Both rations need good grass hay. Jeanne
