How big are the animals?
Now in theory a 1200+ pound animals can gets its fill of grain in 20 minutes per day usually in 2 ten minute feedings. We will just say that the 8 feet can feed 4 animals at a time for figuring. So four animals for 20 minutes is 12 animals per hour. = 288 animals per day. In reality you don't want any more than 1/2 that or less because of fighting.
