Our replacements always get all of the best 3rd crop alfalfa that they want to eat plus about 8# of corn a day. Actually the corn is the fines out of the self-feeder from the fat cattle lot. The steers tend to do enough sorting that they create just the right amount of fines for the replacements. Wouldn't need to take the fines out but dad always insists on it.
