[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 202860, member: 1258"] We don't feed grain to any of our mature cows. Depending on hay quality, weather, size etc. we sometimes grain our heifers, but only limited amounts. We don't have problems with heifers not getting pregnant the first time. Our cattle eat grass in the summer, fall they go on the hay field until it snows and they decide they want to be fed. Then they get good quality hay - we feed to keep the lowest cow in the herd in top shape - everyone gets their fill and we don't have fights. We give a selenium block year round and they get protein tubs a couple of months before calving. We bed them in the winter to keep the old joints warm as we have a lot of old cows. We have 14 cows over 10 years old. 2 of those are 16, 2 are 15. We have many more over the age of six. [/QUOTE]
