[QUOTE="gabby, post: 501323, member: 553"] I have 50 head of 5 and 6 wt. steer and heifer calves on 30 acres of ryegrass that was broadcast on plowed ground last Sept. Last week I put 60 units/acre of N on it and then turned the calves in on it after a good rain. The grass is finally looking good and the calves have been grazing it for 6 days and haven't put much of a dent in it yet. How much will they gain per day? All they're getting is the ryegrass and hi-mag minerals. They've been wormed, castrated and vaccinated. The calves will be in a video auction the first week of March. I hope they fatten up and don't eat it down before then. They were on peanut hay prior to the ryegrass. Should I supplement them with feed? I hate to pay such high feed prices. I'd be more inclined to give them a little peanut hay if the grass gets short. Thanks, gabby [/QUOTE]
