That all depends on the size of the steer and what his average daily gain is; it also has a lot to do with what kind of feed he's fed. The higher the quality, the more he'll eat; same with the level of moisture content. As such, the question cannot be answered in a "amount in terms of weight" basis. Maintenance is 2.5% of his body weight per day, but if he's given a higher quality ration that is suited for him to grow, he may consume anywhere from 3% to 5% of his body weight per day.
