What would be a good grow ration for 3-4 wts steers on grass, assuming the grass is around 8-10%
Hot summertime pasture and with keeping rumen ph/function on grass
Would you supplement cotton seed or something else ?
 
IMO-whole cottonseed would be excellent. Would give them the extra protein needed to digest summer grass plus extra energy. Know of some folks that have self fed a 2:1 cottonseed meal/salt mix. With the lower price of corn could also add 1 part corn to the mix if wanting more gain. Other possibilities are ddgs and corn gluten.
