I just bought 4 yearling f1 angus/wagyu steers. For the moment I got them is s good size holding pen (to settle in ) with a roll of coastal hay and an auto feeder with pellets and a magnesium additive
Once I turn them out, they will have 20 acres of rye grass and very little other forage
My key question is is how to properly get them the right amount of minerals while they adjust to the green sappy rye
I blended 1 bag of magnesium with 9 bags the typical purina cow pellets .. I can set that feeder to how ever many pounds and feedings needed. I don't want want to over do it.
Just wondering what are the better techniques of keeping these steers property nourished with the right amount of magnesium? I am a little concerned about them getting too much of it
