[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 740888, member: 13859"] We finish cattle on self feeders and have for many years. Feed,mostly barley. We work them up to full feed in bunks,usually takes about 3 weeks and then let them go to the feeders. The feeders need to be checked and cleaned daily,the fines removed. I do realize that there will be some that says it won't work but have done this for60 years and with proper management it does work.Beleive that with corn it would be even easier as barley can be pretty starch'y. Also know that the grain does not need to be ground to fine. The cattle always have access to straw or just ordinary hay. Also need a very good mineral and vitamin program. [/QUOTE]
