How do you feed cattle?

All you need to do is to find some means of putting hay, grain, or silage in front of them (or where they can eat out of, like a feed bunk/trough or a bale feeder) and let them eat. When the feed is gone, refill the feeders. Grain should only be fed in limited amounts and not all the time.

As for pasturing cattle, there's no need to feed them as they'll find the choice grasses and best grazing areas themselves. All you need to do is to check the fences regularly, supply water and mineral 24/7, and switch pastures when they have it ate down to a good height (no more than 3 to 4 inches).

How many tons of feed will it take to feed 50 cattle for a year?

It depends on the average size of the cattle. The amount of feed to feed cattle depend on their average weight and sex of cattle. Mature cows tend to eat more than weaned calves; young bulls eat more than steers, and steers tend to eat more than heifers. Older cattle eat more than younger cattle, and, thinner cattle eat more than fatter cattle. So with that, I cannot give you an accurate number.


How much corn is in cattle feed?

It depends on the location, and the type or class of animals fed. There can be as little as no corn (0%) in a feed ration for cattle, or as much as 85% in a feed ration. Not all areas in the world can or will grow corn, and not all feed fed to cattle includes corn. For instance, much of the grain fed to cattle in Canada is barley or oats, not corn.
