Growing, for now. More farmers and ranchers are going out of business or downsizing their herds, which means that there is a larger influx of cattle in the feedlots.

There are too many variables at stake here: the age of the growing cattle, what type/breed of cattle (i.e., dairy or beef), the type of feed, etc. But basically there are some rules of thumb regarding protein requirement for growing animals: Cattle that are younger than 6 months of age require a feed with 16 to 18% Crude Protein. Growing cattle around 8 months need around 14% CP, and yearlings require around 12% CP. Fattening steers over 18 months of age require between 10 to 12 % CP.
