Choice Steer Calves Fall's Safest Bet
Rex Beresford, a longtime cattle feeder from State College, recommends fall calves be fattened through next summer using a ration of oats or 4 to 6 pounds of corn and cob meal with ensilage or legume hay plus about one pound of protein concentrate daily. The plan aims to cheaply gain on abundant roughage.

Finishing Calves With Grass or Grain Strategy
Beresford says long feeding programs hinge on quality from start to finish. Finished calves must combine finish and conformation to compete with grass cattle, with 500 to 650 pound calves fed roughage and a bit of corn through winter, finishing 50 to 60 days for sale in April to June.
