Self-feeding urea molasses and the feeding of Aureomycin to steer calves wintered on bluestem pasture.

Abstract

In this study a self-fed, urea-molasses mixture is being compared to molasses self-fed plus 1.3 pounds of soybean meal in an effort to determine if a urea-molasses mixture self-fed on dry grass will serve as an adequate source of protein and energy. Another phase of the experiment is to determine if aureomycin will improve the performance of calves wintered outside exposed to the hazards of winter weather.
