[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 220707, member: 539"] I would not feed beef cows 20 lbs of corn/day unless I was finishing them for butchering. I wouldn't even feed them 10 lbs/day - more like 2, maybe 3 - depending on what the hay test out for. Get your hay tested and see where it is for protein, then adjust their protein level with some kind of grain - doesn't necessarily have to be corn, either - to raise it if needed. I would [i]not[/i] just be throwing grain at these cows, as it can cause more problems than it solves if not fed properly. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
