[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 924156, member: 7233"] I'm not criticizing their body condition. Mine are fat as pigs, but there's wild rye, oats, vetch, clover, brome and filaree up to their chests right now. I figure the reserves help them get through the rest of the season, after it dries up and loses its nutrition. They'd make it through the winter but we choose to give them enough hay to keep them from getting thin. Yes, they get more inputs than the range cattle down the mountain from us. But those are the cattle I sometimes see laying dead in the pasture from a calving problem or an untended illness. One's been laying there for months, treating everyone to a slow motion slideshow of the progression from death to decay. Same cattle that regularly walk through the dilapidated fence to graze along the highway. I could go on and on, but the point is that the right amount of 'pampering' is not a bad thing at all!
