[QUOTE="farmwriter, post: 807748, member: 10309"] I would feed them more than what you are: free choice hay is good, and gradually up their feed to all they will clean up and leave the trough slick by the next feeding. You could also gradually add a bit more corn to that mix to bring down the cost of feed, assuming you can get the corn cheaper than your current feed mix. And I wouldn't think you need two different mineral options. I don't know anything about short horns as far as size and rate of maturity, but I still think you could be more agressive in putting the size/weight on them. Just my two cents. Somebody else might do things differently. Do you have a goal in mind of what size you want them to be at slaughter? [/QUOTE]
