[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1282802, member: 6399"] You want to feed your heifer, you want her to grow and have volume just not get fat, she needs the protein to grow just not a lot of fat. Good coarse hay free fed is a great way to get them to add volume (guts), the beet pulp or one of the supplements on the market like Ruma-fill or Full Tank will help. Have herd Ramu-Fill works really well, I have never used it myself. On the steer he needs to be getting 3 percent of his body weight in grain a day, 14/3 until het hits 900 then a feed that is around 13/4 the rest of the time, I would add Stabilized Rice bran as well on the steer for those last 3 months, 2 pounds a day. As long as they are in the fast growth stage I would not feed the beet pulp, once they stop growing up and start filling out that is when I would add a little of the beet pulp or some other type of filler. (I really prefer to fill them up on hay, we have a 3-way grain hay available around here and it will add volume better than most filler in my opinion) The filler is great for show time; a heifer that does it naturally is the best. .
