[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1238509, member: 21626"] dairy vs beef is inconsequential?? Maybe you need to make google your friend. My dairy steers are raised (250lbs to 1400lbs) on a 90/10 mix of whole corn and pellets without any hay. I DARE you to try and do that with a group of beef steers. It's true that they can get by without bloating, but it's much more likely than it is with dairy steers. Like Texasbred said, he needs some good quality hay but he won't eat much with all the grain he'll be getting. The hay is not interfering with their ROG goals. Last year I had a steer getting free choice hay with 2.5% of his body weight in grain and he got Grand Champion R.O.G. at 3.77lbs/day. To the original poster, VCC is probably the most knowledgeable person on this site in regards to feeding show cattle, go with their advice! [/QUOTE]
