Hello all.
new to the board, but not raising livestock. I'm going to feed out two steers starting around Nov 1 for my family. i've been involved in our small (25 cow) cow/calf operation my whole life, but have never feed out calves before. I was thinking about feeding ground ear corn. I tried to find some threads involving ear corn but didnt have any luck. i already have the grinder as well as the corn picker, so no extra cost involved there.
does anyone have any experience feed ground ear corn? what should i mix with this in order to provide a good balanced feed? will also be feeding both good quality grass hay as well as alfalfa hay. I have a local elevator that carries some basic feed stuffs; oats, beet pulp, SBM, P11 mineral (??), and molasses. They also carry a product called T-Bone 32% beef feed that says can be feed top dressed, but no idea what this product is
so any advice on what i should mix with my ground ear corn? again, this is just for family meat, so mainly looking for relatively inexpensive yet good tasting beef.
thanks in advance for any help
