[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1575589, member: 24016"] An idle, average sized stock horse eats a small bale a day of quality hay. There is no way in Hades a large ruminate is going to maintain condition on that amount. Perhaps that is why you are feeding so much grain? My mature bulls (2 years and older) get only high quality alfalfa and grass mix hay, along with free choice salt and mineral through the winter months. During the summer, they are on pasture working and get nothing but what they graze. My weanling to 2 year old bulls get the same hay, plus about 5 pounds a head a day of cracked corn and soy beans. The cows are on the same hay, until lactation. The two I have on the home farm that have calves right now (14 years old with twins and a first calf heifer) are getting about 10 pounds a day of CC and beans. They will keep getting that until the calves are eating creep well. What the creep will be will be dictated by spring pasture growth and economics. The fact is, I don't have to go overboard on any part of the feed/hay program because the proper genetics and management are in place.... [/QUOTE]
