[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 893805, member: 7509"] With winter finally arriving, my March and April steers are finally getting into aggressively grazing the standing strip tilled corn i leave for them to "finish" on. A couple steers were near the edge of the corn and hot wire nearest the house this morning so I snapped a few pictures. Most of this group of Herefords were around 800 lb when last weighed a couple weeks ago. This is a lot different than feeding shell corn in a feed bunk. They eat much more of the plant than just grain. This group seems to eat the entire ear where last years group seemed to shell the ears in their mouths then spit out the cob.... seems to vary from year to year. This year is a slightly different hybrid than last year. Maybe the cob is more palatable. Here are some pictures: [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_0086_SteersGrazingStandingcorn011312.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_0085_SteersGrazingStandingcorn011312.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_0090_SteersGrazingStandingcorn011312.jpg[/img] Jim [/QUOTE]
