Seventy-two yearling steers (initial weight 793 Ib) were allotted to 8 pens and self-fed a finishing diet consisting of 91 % whole shelled corn and 9% pelleted supplement without or with Yea-Sacc (11 g per day). Feed was provided to each pen approximately every 3days in amounts necessary to provide constant access during the 109-day trial.

Average cost of gain and profitability were $48.94 per cwt and -$12.03 per head, respectively. Steers consigned in January weighed 71 1 Ib initially, gained 3.07 Ib per head daily, and averaged 1,135 1b at slaughter after 141 days on feed.
