[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 980754, member: 968"] No matter what you feed, you don't want to change anything quickly. In all honesty, all he needs is the corn (whole shell corn) and good grass hay. When I start an animal on grain, I give them 1% of their body weight & build that up to a max of 3% of their current wt. You can easily start supplimenting some of what you're giving him with the WSC & slowly drop the expensive feeds. Unless, like what Iowafarmer said, corn may not be your cheapest feed. Whatever you come up with, he sure doesn't need the heavy protein. It's expensive & at 9 months of age, he doesn't need it. I understand your logic that the protein should make him grow UP instead of OUT. What is your time-frame? When would you like him finished? [/QUOTE]
