[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 122915, member: 539"] There is a formula used to determine how much corn (or any grain for that matter) to start with. Not only did I not remember correctly, I can't type or read tonight. :oops: :roll: It's actually about 1 - 1.5% of their body weight. Then increase it gradually each week til they are where they should be. Steers should have other feed, be it hay, ground hay, grass, or something, besides the corn as the corn will not be enough to sustain them for 12-24 hours (depending on your feed schedule), and does not provide fiber, etc. Hope this helps, but will probably just confuse you more.
