[QUOTE="Roan, post: 731292, member: 13707"] Well we feed our show stock and feeders twice a day, approx 2% of body weight, plus all the hay they want. Some people do feed on demand. Its whatever fits in your program. The twice a day feeding, I know how much they are eating and how they are doing. Personal preference. Also helps because you are around them, they know you and it keeps them adjusted for showing. IMO. We set a goal, fair, butcher, shows whatever it might be. Figure out adg and the weight you want them to be at that time. Then adjust the feed accordingly. Now we dont raise bulls, just steers and heifers so working with a bull long term, I dont know the answers. We AI, dont want a bull on the property, thats just us. There are lots of experts out there that may have better answers. I would just watch how he grows on allstock, not a feed I would use for showing. [/QUOTE]
