I agree- if you want to keep feeding him- the only way is with a high fiber diet, since bovines are made for fiber vs. grain diets. On dairy steers I used a shelled corn/protein pellet diet, and foundering is the downside of this method. With my setup, I didn't have the option of pulling one out and babying him. They didn't founder below 900 lbs, so butchering was the option.
