[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 800741, member: 7509"] Here is a picture of a steer after one week grazing the standing corn shown at the top of this thread. This one had an actual weight of 748 lb at weaning on 11/15 last time I weighed them. He is 277 days old and probably a bit over 800 lb, maybe 825, in this picture from late this afternoon, 12-27-10. [img]http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab336/SRBeef/IMG_2845_Steerafterweekoneofgrazingstandingcorn122710.jpg[/img] They evidently discovered the corn just fine after I left last week in a snow storm. Looks like another 6" of snow. I am probably going to run the March calving cows and heifers on the stalks after the steers get the ears/grain. You can see the difference in the standing corn after one week's grazing on the left compared to the ungrazed on the right side of the wire. There appears to be quite a bit of ear corn left on the current paddock so I am going to leave them on this one another week before exposing more corn. I do NOT want to force them to eat the stalks. fwiw. Jim [/QUOTE]
