Hello, I am pretty new at raising cattle after having sheep for wayyyyy too many years!!! 
I was just curious as to what the average feed conversion is for a beef steer. Like how many pounds of feed should it take to put one pound on the steer? Just a ballpark figure is fine.
I have AngusX steers, and also some purebred holstein dairy steers. My feed mill man suggests like a 16-18% all-purpose feed. I really don't know much about feeding steers!
Thanks for any info you can give me!
