The 65 heifers used in this study were good-to-choice Herefords purchased near Fort Davis, Texas, assigned to treatments on a random-weight basis. The heifers were rotated between pastures so any differences due to pastures were minimized. Dicalcium phosphate was fed to standardize phosphorus intake between groups.
