Hello gang,
You're all wonderful, thank you...I'm reading all your posts and logging them into my files. I'm indebted to you all. I have been reading articles and pushing the envelope on the cattle-meat-steer business. My next question is in regards to creep-cube feeding of steers.
I'm seeking the point of "maximum benefit" where the feed ratio increases the weight but I'm not "going past" the usefullness of the feed. Another words I would rather be on the low-side of the creep - cube costs and stay on the low side of the cattle weight gain (for fear of wasting feed $'s). I hope all this makes sense to the experts- in what I'm trying to do. Assume Angus steers. What exactly do you guys do in feed (in pounds or ounces) per steer per time table...that's beyond the improved pasture land. What do you do to feed your cattle (suppliment their weight) but keep costs down?
