An evaluation of the amount of grain and roughage to food at different stages of the feeding period

Perry, H.B.; Boren, D.W.

The 30 steers used were good to choice Herefords purchased as claves near Sterling, Kansas, and allotted to 3 lots of 10 steers each.

Unlimited roughage was fed where grain was restricted. A ratio of 1 part roughage to 3 parts grain was fed on full feed. Protein supplement was fed at 2lb. per head daily to all lots.
