[QUOTE="hayray, post: 631426, member: 3046"] A feed lot diet is not low quality, it actually is much higher quality then what diet you propose. You are proposing a diet that would be low in energy, and low in dry matter. I see you having a problem getting enough dry matter intake and therefore not having much weight gain. Now if you were feeding a few cows then I would think you might be on to something but I think you would be wasting your time and money feeding them just grass clippings unless you were feeding them fresh and then only a small component of the diet. I don't think you would get them to eat week old clippings, needless to say that might be kinda dangerous to the cattle if that was all that was offered. Just plan on feeding them fresh clippings and or hay and then alot more corn and protein supplement, either soybean meal or a pellet. [/QUOTE]
