I finish about 10 holstein steers a year. I buy them at about 250# when they are done with milk and started on feed. When I get them home I gradually feed them until they are eating all they want, takes about a month. First cutting hay and ground eared corn and about a # a day of Purina 32% mixed in. At about 500 # I reduce the hay and push the grain, what ever they want.At about 700# I change over to 42% supplement and start dumping whole shelled corn in the mixer. I start with about 300-400# of shelled corn per 4000# batch. I gradully increase the shelled corn till they are about a 1000# and then feed just whole shelled corn with 1# per day of the purina 42% supplement. I give them very little hay by that time. They ALWAYS have a ample supply of freash water. I send them to market at approx 14months of age at approx 1400#. I have alot of happy custermers that buy from me every year. Not saying this is the best way but it works for me. Hope this helps.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
