[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1600564, member: 968"] I will let TB answer your nutrition questions. He is "our" expert. But, you are right about having to balance proteins to utilize your hay properly. I generally have high quality baleage (usually about 15-16% protein), so I wouldn't think about feeding anything to my cows other than the hay. "IF" you have the ability to have 3 groups, it is best to have your replacement heifers separate from the others and have your coming 2 and 3 year olds separate from the mature cows. People forget about the coming 3 yr olds and they are probably the most "needie" group we have. They are usually needing more help than the yearlings & two year olds. How good is your hay? I don't feed anything grain other than my weaned replacement heifers. Again, I have good hay. [/QUOTE]
