[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1616768, member: 38479"] I feed the young ones a bit of everything, they seem too just take anything I put in a trough now, sometimes if they are a bit full or over something, I just pile some hay or something else they like on top....in the morning everything is always gone...they are prob 6 months now, it is great if you want to measure and ration something... I find the older heifers the same, they are held away from feed, when I put whatever feed out and let them in, they clean it up. If I put a lot of feed in with them so it is self serve, they pick and choose and drag it out, they may leave something I want them too finish. Not unlike dogs, leave the bowl there, they know they can do what they want when they want, only get the bowl out at feed time, and they clean it up or miss out. Good to see they did not trick you into going to get what they want :) [/QUOTE]
