[QUOTE="micultra6977, post: 679798, member: 13083"] I am brand new to raising beef cattle. We have had our beef for a week, he is black agnus weight was 625 at auction, I have him in a 1/4 acre fenced area that has descent amount of grass in it. We are feeding him 2 scoops of grain 1 in morning and 1 in night. I am guessing the scoop holds about 3# of grain. The problem we are having he will not eat the hay which is a first cut alfafa mix. He is grazing somewhat in the field but not enough i feel. We have tried 2 different types of hay but still nothing. The grain is a local blend from feed mill they use for finishing 13% protein. Should i be concerned we are hoping to slaughter him in November but I dont think we will get even close to the 1100 we want. He is all alone looking at getting second beef in a week or so. Any help would be appreciated. Should we be concerned about the hay issue and what do we need to do to get him to 1100 by november. [/QUOTE]
