It all depends on what you are trying to measure. Pounds is a measure of weight, while quarts and liters are a measure of volume. You will first need to know the density of what you are trying to measure before you can convert the weight to volume (e.g. 1 quart weighs 3lbs)

If your feed is consistent in density, the only way to determine how many pounds of feed your steer is consuming is to weigh one quart of the feed and than multiply that weight by the number of quarts he is consuming. If you are buying your feed by the bag, you are probably paying for the feed by weight. Since you know how much a bag of feed weighs, you can keep track of the number of quarts of feed you get from a bag and then determine how many pounds of feed are in each quart. The only direct conversion of quarts into pounds would be that of water where a pint is a pound, and a quart is two pints, therefore one quart of water weighs 2 pounds.
