[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 783050, member: 13613"] We are also a small Registered Angus herd, under 30 cows and spread between Spring and Fall. We hand feed from a creep feeder and move to pens or small pasture after weaning. We hand feed the same high fiber diet to developing bulls( and heifers) to prevent lots of problems. Amounts differ according to age, rate of growth, bulls seem to spurt at 10 months. We shoot for 3lbs gain a day. Don't want a FAT bull but rather one in good body condition that won't drop weight rapidly when put out to pasture, but will be able to digest the grass.Many cattlemen around here do not know howto change the high energy diet their new bulls have been fed, to a high fiber diet, and to do it slowly to allow rumen time to adjust bacteria.
