[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1740364, member: 41001"] I would look at “Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle” E-974 . It tells you how many mcal neg / protein you need. You need to know how much energy your 14% feed has. It should work for finishing eventually, and the publication I mentioned will help you know how to scale corn up in your ration. Where I am concerned is on the light end, if they are eating around 2.5% of there body weights 1.5% of what they eat is hay so it needs be good hay or you will have poor performance. You could even stunt there growth; if they aren’t gaining over 1.5 lbs a day. [/QUOTE]
