[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 758731, member: 7509"] You can figure that by the roughly 200 cow-days/acre number. I think at 200 CD/acre they will have eaten most of the ears. At least the ones still in the air. I am a corn person. I have no idea how or if this would work with other crops. Most other crops do not stand well through the winter especially with the deep snow I often have, winds and/or just naturally drop their seeds. There are many reasons corn is the way most beef is finished. Corn can be grown and harvested with much less equipment than say barley. Corn can be stored on the stalk. I also feel that, seeing my cattle eat ear corn, on the cob, there are many benefits to them taking in more than just pure grain. No they don't get as fat but in this case that may be good. But I am just an ag machinery engineer who likes beef experimenting with cattle... Jim [/QUOTE]
