[QUOTE="hayray, post: 307183, member: 3046"] Your gain will probably be pretty slow because your NEg value is way to low for cattle on feed. You need your NEg up over .60 to start getting the 2.5 - 3 lbs. of ADG. You have to lower your roughphage component down to 10 or 15% of the diet and figure closer to 3% DMI of body weight. You have plenty of protein but not enough energy. There is a chart that DeKalb publishes from their feedlot customers in Illinois and it shows a relationship between NEg and ADG on cattle fed corn and alfalfa based diets. - Michigan State University Extension has a extension bulletin that you can print off online called Fundementals of Beef Cattle Nutrition, Harlan Ritchie, that shows all of these relationships so that the producer can easily balance their own diets, it is a guide that I have used and has really helped me a lot with the same questions you have.
