[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 94860, member: 1726"] No problem Jeanne, I can take constructive criticism. On my WEB site the one bony cow you saw was one that I culled about two weeks ago. Bought her at a FCA auction bred and she never had a good calf and she never really recovered from having one. The one pot bellied red bull is her calf. The black Brangus heifers you saw there were 3 1/2 months old, and weighed 290 and 280 when I hauled them off. Again all grass feed no creep feeding. Most of these pictures were also taken in FEB/March and grass hadn't recovered yet. We were still feeding hay and liquid feed in the middle of April. I will be over seeding some of the fields shortly. We fertilized almost everything we have and it turned very green but has not grown vertically. I talked to the sod farmer down the road and he said he was having the same problems with his sod fields and put out (now get this) 700 pounds per acre. My ag agent told me 180-200 pounds per acre. Don't know what is going on in our neck of the woods but our cattle are in the worse condition than I have ever seen them. Wormed and vaccinated every 6 months. This is why I have started aggressively culling until I get the forage back. We used to cut hay twice a year and now we only cut once. I suspect over seeding will help a lot. [/QUOTE]
