[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1757994, member: 14585"] Cowculator information must be entered wrong or some other misunderstanding. A small operator's input costs will always be a lot higher than commercial producer. BUT, for best finishing they need to be eating 2% of body weight in corn either ground or whole (I didn't say it would be the most economical way) only a couple of pounds of hay per day to keep the rumen moving. I'd suggest adding 2 lbs of corn each every Monday and Friday (4 lbs week) until they are eating all of the corn they want which will be at least 2% of body weight. Expensive, but will get the job done. [/QUOTE]
