[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1337910, member: 498"] I have a friend who claims he put on 4 pounds a day on a pen Holstein steers. His steers were a little bigger than what you are talking about. His were 500-600 pounds to start with. They were fed free choice ground bread and pastry waste along with all the rank over ripe canary grass hay they wanted. My guess is all the fiber in that hay slowed the bread down while passing through so the steers could digest the good out of that fiber free pastry waste. These steers were in a dry lot, no pasture. You could do the same thing with grain but I think you would be better off financially to just sell the steer the way it is right now. [/QUOTE]
