Hi all,
I feed out a few steers each year, and now I have enough orders for beef that I'll be feeding about 4 or 5. 4-H feed is too expensive. Our Co-op mix is about $17 to $15 cwt. in bulk. Is that a good deal for a complete feed? Are there any suggestions as to what might be cheaper or to bulk mixes that we could ask for that might be more economical while putting a good finish on the calves? Also, what's a good, cheap ration to feed a Holstein calf out? He'll be ground into hamburger, so getting him fat as a Holstein can get will be important. Thanks for the sage advice.
