[QUOTE="Rahe Family Belties, post: 1050417, member: 18193"] We are located in Western Illinois. I wanted to grow the bulls as much as possible as they were show bulls. Calves were weaned early and put on a ration of about 40% rolled corn, 40% whole oats and 20% corn gluten and protein . It figured to be about 12% protein. They were fed about 10 pounds of this grain mix per day. Hay was free choice. These would eat more grain but I have found you must be careful feeding grain to Belties or you can ruin their feet. I had two Beltie steers on the same ration (about 16-18 pounds of grain and hay). One gained 3.2 pounds and the other 2.8 on a 152 day feed period. Carcasses were lean but graded choice. I received a premium over my other Angus and crossbred steers. I will try to post some pix but have had little luck here. [/QUOTE]
