[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 170803, member: 1715"] Over conditioned cattle will gain less when they hit grass, but that is no reason to starve them while backgrounding. PawPa described a good approach. You just want to cut back on the starch to 0.4% of body weight max the last 30 days before turnout. That gives the bugs in their stomach time to adjust to forage. Some folks also think when you grain is very important, and recommend mid day after the stockers have loaded up on forage. [/QUOTE]
