[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 513569, member: 7875"] Length and time from front to back is one of the determining factors into how much is lost between the "mouth and anus." Capacity(if you're speaking of stomach capacity) is more of a factor based on quality of forage. A high capacity is needed in low quality forage environments, but in my area, most people feed so much concentrate, stomach capacity isn't much of an issue.[/quote] Brandon, in what area of TN are you? In Mid TN stomach capacity is of great import. Most cattle here are fed grass and hay. No concentrate except in rare cases.[/quote] Apparently, you've never worked at a Co-op. Few people in the county I worked were grass only cattlemen. Most just fed 1-3 pounds a day, but a surprising number of farmers were feeding 5-10+ pounds per day. If you asked them, most would say they were only feeding a couple of pounds, but after years of seeing them on a regular basis, you knew how many cows they were running, and it was easy to do the math.
