The maintenance ration for beef cattle refers to the amount of nutrients required to maintain body weight and overall health without promoting growth or fattening. This ration typically includes adequate levels of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals to support metabolic processes. The specific requirements can vary based on factors such as age, weight, breed, and activity level, but generally, maintenance rations are calculated to provide sufficient nutrients to sustain the animal's basic physiological functions. Properly balancing the maintenance ration is crucial for optimal cattle health and productivity.
Maintenance requirements are 2.5% of a cow's body weight in dry matter ration per day.

Rations that can be fed to beefers depends on what's available as far as costs and shipping is concerned, as well as how and what these beef cattle are being fed for: is it for a breeding herd, for backgrounding/stocker or for finishing? So specifities are vital in order to answer this question.
