[QUOTE="dun, post: 606779, member: 34"] They should be eating a minimum of around 1% of their body weight in grain per day. 4 lbs would be 1% of a 400 lb animal (I may be wrong since my math skills aren;t the greatest) 1% of a 1000 lb cow would be 10 lbs. Even if you feed them the amount you're planning twice a day you would still be bewlow the 1%. My opinion only, but I think they should be getting a minimum of more like 12 lbs a day split into 2 feedings. The feeder needs to be higher, they'll end up loading that thing with crap and stepping in it and breaking it in pretty short order. [/QUOTE]
