[QUOTE="Keren, post: 510479, member: 3195"] when are you planning for this guy to mate your cows? He wont be ready until he's older . . . 16 cows I would wait until he is around 16 months. As far as his development goes, it all depends on how good your pasture is. I personally would slip him a little 16% protein feed evry second day or so to just keep him ticking over quite happily. I'd give him more if the grass isnt adequate. If he needs feeding and you can only get out once a week, its probably best to get him in a paddock by himself and give him free choice legume hay or silage, with a small grain ration weekly. Or better yet would be an electronic feeder that will dish him out a pre-set amount of food each day when it reads his electronic ear tag . . . but there arent many of us that can afford those! :lol: Good luck, post a picture of him for us to see!
