We fed it the last 3 years. Worked good, but got expensive I felt. Cattle did OK - had good hair coat, but was never totally satisfied with rate of gain on the steers, or market heifers. We do not have a cooler, and in the heat of the summer when you are trying to get the steers to gain, I don't think they would eat enough. We always ended up feeding corn silage along with it to spur apetite(worked well). Our steers at the fair would be at 2.4 - 2.6 , and the heifers would sometimes have a hard time hitting 2.2 - 2.3 lbs/day  December -July We are trying AAOK's ration this year.
