[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1578500, member: 24016"] BR, I feed grain as needed too. I have hay my 18 month old bulls on a couple of pounds per head per day of cracked corn and soybeans since the forage ran out last fall. Our hay up here was absolute shyt, so they needed something more to grow. If they hay had been stellar, they would have only gotten a scattering of grain when they are worked. As it is, I need my investment in them to be fullfilled, so they get some grain. I also have my daughter's herd on grain right now. One cow is 14 and nursing twins, and the other is a first calf heifer. Neither are on good pasture and calves don't have a creep yet. When that changes, the cows will not get grain. I'm not against grain feeding at all. I just believe it needs to be done judiciously and with an eye on the prize. With respect to your young bulls, I'm sure you will manage their development very well. Keep them growing, but don't get them to the point where you can no longer see the muscle definition on the hind quarter or forearm. If they get wrinkles behind their shoulders or pone fat, you have gone too far!!! [/QUOTE]
