[QUOTE="BC, post: 1044298, member: 67"] Cross7, typically with Bermuda we get a little over 1 lb a day adg without any supplement. With 2 lbs soybean meal or cottonseed meal and 2 lbs corn you can get 2 lbs adg. Tifton 85 got 2 lbs adg with out supplement and nearly 3 lbs with the same supplement that got 2 lbs on coastal. One thing you might look into is going to a paddock system with the stockers. Several of the dairies in my area use a high density, frequent rotation system to keep grass quality high. Kind of like using the cattle to mow the grass and the regrowth in 16 to 20 days is young , tender and higher quality. This might work to get you better gains without supplementation. [/QUOTE]
