Morningdew - 4/7/2026 08:19 Looks like nice feed. Just keep hay or cornstalks in front of them. I’ve had 3 founder out of the last 1000 head. First two grinders get 35-0. Then dry ddgs till they on the chain.
That would definitely help limit the possibility of acidosis but I was always under the impression that most guys didn't feed hay/stalks to cattle on a stuffer.
How much hay/cornstalks do they eat if you give them free choice? Ever have any that grow slow due to eating too much hay/stalks and less grain?
I feed my steers unlimited hay and unlimited corn. Both in front of them 24 hours a day. They must strongly prefer the corn because they really dont eat a lot of hay. Been doing this for 25+ years. Never had acidosis, bloat, or any other problems. I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell me thats not possible and I'm doing it all wrong
Edit: And my ground feed looks very similar to the OP's photo, which is apparently the wrong way too
Feed grind size
