[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1769940, member: 39695"] That's one of the really cool things about cattle every one can feed them different and yet still come up with a fairly comparable product. One feed lot I work with went through a complete feeding change when the younger generation took over. The old man grew cattle on silage and shell corn then finished them on a self feeder. . . of shell corn. It worked. They'll get big and fat. The son didn't want to chop silage any more so the cattle now go straight to a self feeder of ground feed. They get big and finished (last load of 6 hfrs and 4 strs average 1450 live) and they cut 90-120 days off their finishing time. Huge savings on feed costs and turn over rate. [/QUOTE]
