[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6451354, member: 5764"] Anyone who’s seen the recipe for feedlot rations can tell you how far they push the line. UK farmers may run into issues with abx in feed as the reason those are used here is to limit liver abscesses due to such high grain diets. When I was at the feedlot the starter ration was silage and DDG with a bit of straw and grain. Every five days that ration would change and by the time the cattle were in for 25 days they had three ingredients. Grain, DDG and a bit of straw. That’s it. The use of DDG let them be fed less grain so anything I seen probably topped out at 70-75% barley or wheat. In places where there’s less DDG available they can easily be in the 85-90% range. The cattle don’t get a choice, they just get grained. Like I said, would put fat on anything. [/QUOTE]
