[lynn from mo]

Ihave large round bales first cutting alfalfa,dry shelled corn,a grinder mixer,bunks, and a self-feeder. I can buy many other feed ingrediants. How should I feed 28 750 lb. simxlim steers?

What are your goals?
Least cost ration?
Fast gains?
I assume you are fattening them-- but for what type of market?

How long are they staying or to what weight are they staying?

Do you have more money or labor to make use of?

What are the costs on your feedstuffs?
Can you get another type of roughage?
Including labor,storage,waste
