[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 273139, member: 1604"] I'll take that as a compliment. :lol: My opinion on this is.........(for whatever it's worth) MOST cattle can gain efficiently on grass, given that it has the same nutrients and energy that are in most feeding rations. If we took forage samples correctly and fed them grass that has a balance of nutrients we would have fat cattle. But nowdays it's cheaper to drylot them than it is to graze them. The cost of gain in the feedlot is around $0.50 per pound now. Do the math on grazing and fertilizing properly down here. [/QUOTE]
