[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1085423, member: 7509"] I haven't posted here in a while but still "finishing" Hereford calves by grazing standing corn over the winter before harvest in late April and replanting corn in the same strip as I have for about the last 6 years. Very cold today, I believe the high was 3 or 4 degrees F. Low last night was about -15 degrees F with windchill down from there. Last spring's calves seem to be doing well on corn. Not quite as simple as it may seem but the calves have really taken off. I am running retained heifer calves on corn this winter in addition to the steers to try to get some more size and weight on them before breeding season in late June. The small area of corn open to them is right behind my house now. I snapped a couple pictures of them today. I've been playing music on outdoor speakers facing the corn and it sure seems like they enjoy listening right along the single hot wire. Regards to all and Happy New Year Jim [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_1218_calvesgrazingcorn123013_zps3c5aafb4.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_1225_calvesgrazingcorn123013_zps5a7f11c8.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/SRBeef1/IMG_1228_calvesgrazingcorn123013_zps911cb630.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
