[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1758082, member: 968"] Yes, I always recommend whole shell corn vs cracked/processed corn. You will SEE the corn in the manure. Don't worry about it. Cracked corn is in the manure, you just don't SEE it. If just starting on grain, you start with 1% body wt. Slowly increase to 3% BW. Think of meat and potatoes. Meat is protein. Potatoes are carbs. Carbs puts on fat. Cattle must put so much OUTSIDE fat before their body will make marbling. Feedlots don't feed straight corn, but they can buy by-products cheap to stretch it. Don't limit your hay. They will limit it on their own. Do not add protein feed. I am not a nutritionist, but my husband was, and this is what he taught me. [/QUOTE]
