I was wondering what everyone is using for their mix for a steer that is going into a carcass contest.
Right now I am using : 500# corn, 100# purina accuration, and 25# liquid molasses. I was having a problem w/ the steer wanting to eat, so I added the molasses and had it ground up coarse to get rid of the fines that kept accumulating.
Is there anything else I should try to get him to eat a little bit more by adding to this mix? I know w/ the accuration that I will need to cut it back as I get closer to the finish date.
I thought about implanting him, but after doing some research you lose marbling when you implant.
Thanks in advance.
