[QUOTE="BRG, post: 554151, member: 2397"] Where is this extra grass going to come from??? Their are tests going on right now in a few feedlots in NE where they are feeding cattle on hay, corn stalks, and distillers alone, with no corn. Lets hope this cost of gain is relatively cheap and works to finish. As far as tucking is concerned. We learned this the hard way. A couple years ago a bull customer of mine had to wean and sell at a very young age. The calves were in the mid 3 weights. We purchased around 50,000 lbs (1 truck load) but when we went to load them, we couldn't get them all on because their was to many cattle (like 140 or so) and the actual room wasn't their to fit in the truck even though it was by weight.
