I have two bulls on gain. They are getting roughly 18-20 pounds each a day of corn and a complete feed. The roughage source is winter wheat high quality with a short stem. I noticed the bulls seem to have a belly fill that's more round on the wheat. I now switched them to teff grass and it seems like their bellies and getting more depth and downward fill not so round looking. I am thinking they look better on grass than wheat . Any thoughts ?
