[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1069742, member: 19707"] I can't add much to what VCC suggests. This is very much the way we feed our steers as well. We only go 120-150 days from nomination (weigh in) on our shows and carcass contests, so we try to do most of the growing before weigh in and the finishing after. On the carcass steers (especially considering rate of gain contest), we generally try to get them worked up to full feed (all they'll clean up in 30 minutes twice a day) and keep them there. But that usually ends up being 2.5 - 3% of body weight anyway, so what VCC says should work there, too. [/QUOTE]
