[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1850581, member: 38220"] I would contact your local CO-OP or an elevator or feed dealer to see if you can purchase a tote (big bulk bag that can hold 1000-2000# of corn) to cheapen up you feed cost. Steer will be fine in a separate pen, especially if he has across the fence contact with the other critters. If you are feeding twice a day he can even run with them and come in for feed. He will learn to go to his separate pen to get fed - close the gate til he is finished then let him back out. Start with the amount of grain he is getting now and slowly ramp him up. Allow him 30 minutes to finish his grain and scoop up what he doesn't eat. Then turn him back out. Feed at same time every day. Should fatten right up. [/QUOTE]
