Abstract
In Circular 349 from this station, it has been reported in a three-year study that 2 pounds of soybean pellets fed per steer daily increased the gain .39 pound per head daily on yearling steers on bluestem pasture in late summer (August, September, and October). Most of this gain increase occurred in September and October. This report is concerned primarily with finding out if the level of supplemental feeding can be profitably lowered and if the kind of protein concentrate has any effect on performance.
