Abstract
Two wintering systems, cornstalk grazing plus 5 lb/head/day of wet corn gluten feed and cornstalk grazing followed by dry lot where steers were fed hay and supplemented 5 lb/head/day of wet corn gluten feed were evaluated. There were no differences in daily gain, or final body weight for either system. While there were no statistical differences in cost of gain, break-even, or profitability, economics numerically favored steers grazing cornstalks alone.
