Was wondering what you all thought about this grower ration and feed rates for heifer and steers( 400Lbs to 700 lbs)

Steam Flaked Corn 52%
Linseed Oil meal  30%
Soybean meal 5%
Molasses 8%
Yeast 2%
Future Cow mineral pac with Rumensin 3%

Feed rate;    6lbs of the above grain mix & 10 lbs good quality grass hay per head per day.(currently feeding this to 500lb hefiers and steers)

Nutritionist said to keep the grain rate steady (6lbs) but adjust the hay amount up a little as they grow.

So far my ROG's are 2.2lbs/day
Appreciate any thoughts or comments

Can you be the miracle worker who fixes me up a ration that has enough protein to have hair and look good without gaining any??  I think the steer we have eats his wood chips during the day!

The Linseed Oil Meal is a source of protien, we switched to a higher %LOM well over the SBM to help give the animals more "bloom". It seemed to help especially during last winter( Northern  Wisconsin BRRRRR) andd kept them growing, will see how the steers do on it this winter.
