cattle experts: i have 4 Holstein steers that i want to fatten up and consume, what is the best ration to feed
i have heard that corn, oats and barley mixed with hay are good for dairy steers. but then others say that buying bags of pellets and top dressing them with corn is better…they need to have good gains and be efficienet with the feed. how do i come about formulating a ration. any ideas?
Pellets & ground corn. 1/3 ratio. Twice a day, 13lbs per cow. Free feed timothy hay in winter, access to good pasture in summer. Also have mineral available, to keep them from getting grass tetany.
