For steer feed we used to grind 35 bu oats, 500 lb bean meal, mineral, dry molasses and fill rest of mixer (100 bu mixer) with ear corn. I THINK this will get protein around 14-16% (I THINK). Amount fed per day will vary with the size of the critter. You could grind a similar ration to topdress your corn silage.
