[QUOTE="skip7879, post: 858858, member: 15748"] I hate to through cold water on your idea because I have had the same idea in the past. But fines are what cause the biggest problem with feeding holstein steers. The easy availability of the starch in the fines makes it really easy to be digested therefore its like eating acouple candy bars and bottle of Mt Dew it tastes so good going down but a few minutes later you have a huge gut ake believe me I have done it before. The money you save on the vet bill and lost gains will easily make up for the corn cost. Holsteins will do alot better for you on whole or cracked corn just pour the corn on them you can also feed 30% corn gluten or even ddgs if you want to cheapen it up alittle. The name of the game is energy they need plunty energy to finish. [/QUOTE]
