How much corn does it take for a steer to gain 1 pound?
For such a general question, it requires a general answer: It depends on the steer and the type of feed corn being used to feed that steer. There is some sort of general "rule of thumb" out there that it takes around 9 lbs of grain to get one pound of beef, but that is pretty ambiguous. It takes more pounds of corn to get a pound of gain on a Holstein steer than it would on an Angus steer, for instance. Also, cracked corn will get a steer to gain more weight than whole corn will.
How do you feed a steer?

How many pounds of feed does a steer need to eat to gain a pound?
It all depends on what feed is being fed to that steer, as in what feed is available, what the ratio of forage to grain is for that steer, and the steer's breeding and genetics. Some breeds or crossbreeds of steers will require less feed to achieve a pound of gain than other breeds or crossbreeds. For instance, an Angus steer will gain a pound on less feed than a Simmental steer.

How do you raise a steer for self consumption?
It isn't to hard. First decide if you want a holstein or a beef like an angus, hereford, simmetal, etc. Make sure you have a shed and a place to go outside. They dont have to go outside but, Me personally think theydo better when they can have fresh air. If you would have an outside pen make sure it is a good fence because cattle are strong, (I know from expirence). Make sure they have bedding. Bedding is usually corn stalks or straw. You feed it corn and protein, or silage. If it is a holstein steer feed it no hay at all they will get a hay belly and wont do good. If it is a beef steer feed it a little hay and grain. When it reaches anywhere from 1200-1400 lbs butcher the steer.Their is a lot of meat in a steer so you can sell half a beef and still have enough for you and your family. I hope this helps some people out. Thanks!
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.
