Try a combination of range fee with sugar-beet pulp and alfalfa. That should put the weight on

I use a sugar-beet pulp / oat / alfalfa mix as finish feed. Gives me a 5-7% better yield on average. This is with shorthorn-hereford MP cross.

Try a mixture of blackstrap molasse and oatmeal

I can see why this is under diet and fitness. Let's see. You need my help in fattening up a steer so you can butcher it? I'd try someone else who is into farming animals.
