My steers and bull are still grazing cornstalks only for maybe a month yet. The grain is pretty much gone. They are grazing husks and stalks now. They have plenty of good mineral, salt and water.
Question is do they need anything else as a supplement? If I put hay out they will mostly consume that rather than the stalks now that the grain is gone. I'd like to have them clean up the corn field more thoroughly since I am running out of good hay and also to make it easier to strip till corn on corn in early May.
I think I'll harvest a couple steers in the next couple weeks also before the corn "wears off". Supplement required?
