Had a 700# steer break its jaw in February from getting kicked by another calf. Anyways, it finally gained weight back and looks pretty good. He has been running with cows on pasture for the summer and would guess it weighs 800-900# now. Im planning on feeding it out and butchering it. I have cornstalk and alfalfa bales leftover from last year and corn. I was thinking about trying to find another single heifer or steer to feed with it. For the ration I am thinking to put a cornstalk bale in feeder and start out with 8# corn + pellet and keep working up from there or I could put the alfalfa bale free choice and keep working up on the corn. Any thoughts/ideas? I've never finished an animal before. Thanks
