Some Beef Rations Shorten Corn Gay
Iowa State University extension livestock expert Nelson Gay says many Iowa cattle feeders do not increase energy in rations quickly enough. Analysis shows 600 to 700 pound steers lack grain for maximum gains, suggesting grain equal to 1 percent of body weight and incremental increases as weight rises. A 2.25 pound daily gain equates to roughly 100 pounds every 45 days.
