[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1712461, member: 24816"] I have kind of that philosophy too about cattle being toyed with. I think some have tried to turn animal husbandry into rocket science, and messed up more than was accomplished. I’m not being critical of others who do, but we are not even fans of AI, and certainly not ET, though we have done some AI in the past and a lot of the bulls I’ve bought are AI or ET calves. We don’t implant either. I don’t really want to push our calves with feed hard, but enough to steadily grow until it’s time to finish and fatten. It seems like that when they are out on pasture/hay with a little supplement through the winter they just maintain with little growth, which is fine with me for heifers to be bred. I’m just looking to get the steer calves to grow some more without getting too fat to quick. [/QUOTE]
