Treatment Forage (g) Supplemental feed (g)
RB 0.75
CS 0.75
BH 0.75
RB + 50:50 0.51 0.24
CS + CC:CSM 0.63 0.12

*Diets are based on a 250-kg steer consuming 2.5% BW in DM. Supplemental feed inclusion is estimated based on amount offered to animals in the 45-d backgrounding trial.

RB = annual ryegrass baleage harvested in the boot-to-early dough stage; CS = corn silage harvested in the milk stage; BH = Tifton 85 bermudagrass hay harvested on a 4-wk frequency from May through June 2015; 50:50 = 50% mixture of soybean hulls and 50% corn gluten feed, respectively; CC:CSM = 85% mixture of cracked corn and 15% mixture of cottonseed meal, respectively.
