How much grain/hay ratio

[shorthorn1996]

Hi i was wondering how much grain to hay ratio for two steers. Should I give them more hay then grain or the other way around? \

Are you growing them or finishing them? What weight are they?

you can give them grain at 1.5% of their bodyweight,an hay free choice.

Am assuming you're growing these to eat or at least look great if you sell them on the hoof. Roughage: grain ratio in a perfect world would typically be 50:50....60% grain is acceptable but anything over that can lead to severe rumen acidosis which causes other problems.
