[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 598606, member: 4353"] I agree with this. High energy content is for finishing, ie packing on fat, unfortunately that also means in the neck of the scrotum. Why put extra weight and strain on the developing structure of the immature bull? In my opinion the best way to grow young bulls out for own use is to give them free choice alfalfa hay or on pasture supplemented with a little alfalfa hay if needed. On the straight alfalfa they grow equally well, are in very good condition without getting obese. This bull was 17 months in this photo and he was grown out on just straight alfalfa hay.
