O.K. this might sound like a stupid question but how do ya learn if you don't ask?? :)

I have wondered about feeding grain to young cattle on rotational grazing in high percentage alfalfa pasture where the protein can hit high in the 22 - 24% range. They would get Rumensin bolus' to help prevent bloat.

Would the cattle not benefit from a higher energy level since they are getting so much protein? I am thinking about maybe 3-4 lbs/hd/day of cracked corn to 7cwt. black heifers.

Any experience or input on this question?
