How many acres of grain are needed to raise a steer compared to the acres of grass it takes to raise a steer?
This all depends on the kind of grain you are feeding that steer, since there are different levels of crude proteins, TDNs, ADF's, etc., that comes with different grains. And the acres of grass depends on where you live and how much forage biomass grows in that particular area. So all those factors that are missing in this question make it impossible to answer.
Typically, though, it takes more pasture to raise one steer than it does to raise a steer on grain. But how much is unknown at this point.
