Just what do they feed cattle in the feedyards?

[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 828758, member: 14975"] My question sort of folds into a decision making process I'm going through at the moment. I've been planting grain sorghum and love it from the standpoint of ease of producing it. My cattle love it....my hogs, not so much. This year I'm going to be sprigging a lot more of my place in bermuda so my available land for planting grains will be greatly reduced. Weight-wise, I can probably produce 5 or 6 times the grain per hectar with corn than I can with sorghum. Of course, for me it means a lot more work to cultivate a good corn crop and I'd need reliable rainfall. That's always a crapshoot. Anyway, so just what goes into a decent cattle feed? I'm assuming that a significant percentage would be corn. Am I right? [/QUOTE]
