I finish about 10 holstein steers a year. I buy them at about 250# when they are done with milk and started on feed. When I get them home I gradually feed them until they are eating all they want, takes about a month. First cutting hay and ground eared corn and about a # a day of Purina 32% mixed in. At about 500 # I reduce the hay and push the grain, what ever they want.At about 700# I change over to 42% supplement and start dumping whole shelled corn in the mixer. I start with about 300-400# of shelled corn per 4000# batch. I gradully increase the shelled corn till they are about a 1000# and then feed just whole shelled corn with 1# per day of the purina 42% supplement. I give them very little hay by that time. They ALWAYS have a ample supply of freash water. I send them to market at approx 14months of age at approx 1400#. I have alot of happy custermers that buy from me every year. Not saying this is the best way but it works for me. Hope this helps.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
