[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 810134, member: 968"] I'm "assuming' your buckets of grain will weigh about 25#, so that's about 7#/hd/day. Probably quite a lot more than they need. So, yes, anything could make them back off. Also, have you gotten a new batch of feed. When cattle are on full feed grain (which this wouldn't be considered full feed, but it's quite a lot for bred heifers unless they were low BCS & you were trying to get them in better BCS) they can go "off" feed pretty easily. I would only offer them 1/2 their normal amount for a while. Is their manure the same consistency? smell the same? Manure will tell you if something wrong with the digestive system. [/QUOTE]
