[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1438639, member: 17025"] With the help of Google, I got this... Cattle called "corn-fed," "grain-fed", or "corn-finished" are typically fattened on corn, soy, and other types of feed for several months before slaughter. As a high-starch, high-energy food, corn decreases the time to fatten cattle and increases carcass yield. So corn is high energy, used to finish cattle. That is part is easy for me to understand. Crude protein is an estimate of the total protein present in a grass. Protein forms the building blocks of muscle and its components are used in every system of the body. Crude protein is positively related to the digestibility of a grass and, in general, as crude protein increases, so does livestock performance (e.g. weight gain, milk production, etc). What is the primary source of added protein? Beyond grazing, what is a good source of protein? Not asking which supplement, or about tubs. What is a good source of protein beyond those things? Thanks [/QUOTE]
