[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 344391, member: 5783"] oh i forgot, the cattle we sent were born in may and june of 2005 so around 20 months or so of age, and fattened on a 86% barley ration, 4% supplement, and 10% greenfeed or oat straw, depending what there was out there to buy. we dont grow sileage because we have found that for the amount of money it costs and the land you need to put it up, it just isnt worth the cost, so our backgrounded calves are on an alfalfa, barley, and cull potato ration and are slowly increased to 86% percent then switched to the greenfeed or straw. we have found that even on straw or greenfeed that fats gain just as well, and you dont have the expensive cost of putting up sileage.
