[QUOTE="johndeerefarmer, post: 231746, member: 2084"] Depends on the cube. Are you feeding 20% high energy breeder cubes? If so, then 1-4 lbs a day is usual, depending on the forage. Are you pastures fertilized? If not, then what you are feeding will not hurt them. A full 5 gallon bucket is around 25 lbs. I feed my 30 head about a pound per day when I go check on them. Keeps them gentle and makes them easy to count. You could always buy a lower protien cube for this use and when winter hits go back to 20%. As far as over feeding your cattle goes, I read an article a few days ago that dystocia (difficult calving) is not caused by or is affected very little by over feeding heifers. [/QUOTE]
