There is a major difference between high energy rations, which I recommended, and high starch diets for 7 weight cattle, especially for the english breeds of cattle, maybe holstien steers need a high starch diet at that weight but an Angus or hereford certainly does not and energy can be supplied much cheaper with good alfalfa hay and ear corn or DDG. I grind and blend my own rations, I don't buy processed feed, I'm talking as ground and fed on the farm, a ration consisting of 50/50 corn and alfalfa hay with maybe a little additional supplement if hay is lower quality will be around 15% calculated and will deliver approximately 12% digestible protein. Crude protein as stated in a commercial feed will reflect the percentage of non protein nitrogen, or rumen by-pass protein in the calculation and will be a more accurate number. The bottom line is this, if he wants these cattle to grow he needs to develop a ration with what he has or what he can get at a good price and feed them more of it.
