Nothing you have said holds water.
Since you're such an expert on feeding cattle, please explain to me why we background to about 800-900lbs instead of feeding corn at that time.
I highly suggest that if you are actually intersted in the subject on more than a "I'm going to pretend to know what the fuck I'm talking about and act arrogant so as to hide my ignorance on the subject" way, that you buy some text books that actually discuss the anatomy and management of cattle in a non-propoganda manner. I've got a few right behind me as I type this. Want suggestions or do you prefer to stick to books with an agenda?

They are fed corn for 90-120 days because their system cannot survive much longer than that. |
