[QUOTE="VAStocker, post: 604305, member: 4458"] My first question is how much grass have you got? If the grass is good feed them 1/2 % of there body weight something like a 14% stocker ration is good or a corn glutin soy hull 50/50 every day till spring time and unload them then. But since you are feeding hay I'd say grass is not on the good side and is fair-poor if this is the case maybe 1-2% once a day. As far as the vacinations if you haven't worked these calves yet this is a good time to do so you will max your profit out in the spring. If you are lucky, on grass and free choice hay without feed maybe 1lb. a day. With a 14% stocker ration good hay and pasture 2-2.3 lbs. per day. Keep in mind what you will be trying to market in the spring and make that your goal you may even consider buying a few calves to finish out the load and market a truck load of precon. 7wt. steers in March.
