Charles I Bray from Colorado Agricultural College outlines shelter, drainage, and space guidelines for feed lots. He favors south facing slopes for dryness, recommends drainage if slopes are unavailable, and assigns about three feet per steer for rack and trough space.

A ration of shelled corn and alfalfa hay satisfies two year old or older steers and typically needs no linseed meal or cottonseed meal. This year the corn to cottonseed meal price ratio supports adding one pound of cottonseed meal per head per day to the ration.
Exercise is necessary for good health. Horses kept in small lots move little unless used. Some farms provide shelter, but many require evening turnout with feed and dry barn bed. Idle horses need clean water and salt at least weekly.
Corn and cob meal has been fed successfully to horses but should not be ground too fine and may be mixed with oats. If horses receive much other roughage, avoid excessive corn and cob meal as they need a more concentrated ration. The cobs’ high fiber makes corn and cob meal a poor fattener. most digestion goes to maintenance and energy rather than fattening.
