[QUOTE="bull56, post: 513332, member: 3329"] Had the vet out today and was asking him. It is like I thought. This feed will put the weight on the bulls for a good yearling weight and some continue to feeding this mixture until the bulls are sold. Once the bulls go to their new home and are put out into the pasture for breeding they melt and won't hold up. Therefore, while I think feeding bulls a mix like this may be OK to get a good yearling weight (most breeds allow the yearling weight to be taken at a minimum of 320 days) I feel the bulls should at that time be changed over to a ration that would still allow them to grow and develope and not become fat bulls that commercial cattlemen are not wanting. Fat may sell, but with feed prices these days, at what cost? [/QUOTE]
