If money was flowing free and was not a concern, how much hay/grain would YOU give your feeder steer per 100 pounds a day? I'm talking about perfect marbling and best palatability for personal use. All the sites Ive investigated have different feeding recommendations and I'm a bit confused. :shock:
Thanks in advance.
Guess I would feed him like we do a show steer. Always had some pretty good meat from our show Steers. We put them on free choice hay and then a complete ration of Oats, Corn, Soybean meal, Cotton Seed hulls, molasses. Slowly move them up till they are eating around 20lbs a day of feed and free choice hay.
Not sure if this is the best for marbling and palatability but like I said some pretty good steaks from a good show steer.
