[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 592007, member: 968"] Frankie, no - no oats. My weaned calves get shell corn with a protein pellet in it thru the winter. Our winters are a bit severe and we believe in growing our replacements out. But, once they are bred, they are turned out on grass. That's what they live on in the summer & hay in winter. We do seperate the young bred cattle from the mature cattle, so they don't have to fight for hay. I've never fed oats - to anything. Oh yes, also, my showstring gets corn. So if a bred heifer or cow/calf are lucky enough to be part of the showstring - absolutely, they get grain (shell corn & protein pellets). We had a 2-year old cow with calf in showstring this year. Gave her about 6#/day. Didn't need it, but keeps them interested in being "good". [/QUOTE]
