[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 203073, member: 1258"] Proper nutrition (condition) will contribute to more calves, it is one important factor. Heredity also plays a roll as does environment and breed. Proper nutrition does not always mean feeding oats though. Cost and/or work is not a factor for us not feeding oats to our cattle - they simply do not need them. Their nutritional requirements are met without them, other people will have cattle that do need oats. Over feeding oats, making animals too fat, even at the heifer stage will decrease longevity and milking ability. I agree with you, keeping your cattle in top condition is a must to get the most out of them. However, the way to do that is going to differ for everyone. That's why it is important for people to test their own fields and feed. Find out what they need and not just go by what someone says in a different state or country. [/QUOTE]
