[QUOTE="dun, post: 202767, member: 34"] This wasn't even a real winter, of course this isn't a real spring either. Until we went to 3 yr old prairie hay we didn;t supplement at all. We did use mix 30 when we started in the ahy. When they're on hay they eat it but it's still cheaper then grain, easier too. Now that the grass is popping up a little, they hardly touch the stuff. We did give tyhe heifers about 1/4 pound a day of grain the last month before they calved so that in theory they would calve during the daylight. The aearliest was 6 am the latest was 6 pm so I guess it worked. They're out with the cows now and not getting any grain. I should hav ementioned in the earlier post that our cows are on average around 7 years old, but that includes 1 at 15, 1 at 11 and 4 at 2. But when you have small numbers of cows, the average gets skewed pretty badly. dun [/QUOTE]
