for the various lots. The same live weight was used to calculate both feedlot gain and
carcass yield or dressing percentage.

 Average daily feed consumption and sample feed analyses are shown in Table 1. With the
exception of the groups fed Coastal Bermuda haylage in the second trial (Lots 25, 26, 29,
and 30), the same roughage to corn ratio (dry weight basis) was used with all rations.
Because of its low quality and palatability, the amount of Coastal haylage was reduced to a
roughage level approximately one-third below that of the other lots.
