[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 294"] I butchered a steer that we kept in a twelve x twelve foot stall with the same size pen for outside. We TRIED to get him up to twenty pounds of corn a day as well as feeding good alfalfa. Daughter complains that the hamburger was too fat... the meat was tender, but i don't think I will ever do straight corn again, and as long as the animal isn't up to two years old, I am questioning keeping him in such a small place. I am thinking... meat comes from muscle and muscle is created by good food and exercise.... I wasn't out cowboying him, but leisurely walking a quarter of a mile back and forth to food and water can't surely be a BAD thing. Sort of just thinking outloud. On the next animal I butcher, I have definitely decided to go a little heavier on the COB with molasses than everyone else is getting, but twenty pounds a day didn't seem to be a realistic goal to shoot for.
