The effects of beef cattle growing systems (grazing vs. bunk) and silage type (corn vs. sorghum) on finishing phase growth performance, carcass characteristics, and nutrient digestibilities were evaluated. Steers (n = 128; BW = 394 ± 21 kg) were backgrounded by either grazing (forage sorghum AF7401, 104 d) or bunk fed (65% concentrate diet, 85 d)....
