[QUOTE="Dee, post: 61847, member: 350"] I have never fed out any cattle, just backgrounded, but, protein is what makes muscle, correct? Too much fat and they will just get fleshy, not meaty. I had a problem a few months ago with my replacement heifers...all gut and no butt, increased the protein and they are looking great. The feed lot down the road really pushes the corn and distillers, with just a sprinkle of ground hay. Perhaps your feed rep could advise you as to what type of ration is best, or a local feed lot operationcould give you some tips. [/QUOTE]
