[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 589728, member: 7275"] Please explain the term 3 way hay. Many show steers can be fed a general finishing ration. But you must remember that cattle are much the same as people in that we all digest our food differently. For the best results, a show steer must be closley watched. Many must be fed a bit different and it depends on their genetics. For instance. I have had some that got rolling fat off of 3 scoops of grower ration with free choice hay. Then some that would grow real big and not lay on that good exterior fat without feeding free choice. You need to watch your steers for indicators that will tell you if they are laying on finish, just getting fat or just growing. Sometimes it may require adding more protein or energy to the diet. Sad to say a good show steer doesn't always make a good eating steer. You may want to raise one to show and one to eat. [/QUOTE]
