[QUOTE="dun, post: 328095, member: 34"] As in most everyting with raising cattle, environments make a huge difference. Some cattle because of the quality of forage and the individual genetics can benefit from supplement, others in a different area or with different adaptations or forage don;t. The way we raise cows around here probably wouldn;t work in the frozen north, although they did pretty good during the short frozen midwest period. Those same cows in FL or probalby AL or GA would get hog fat with the better forage and less severe environment. We're currently feeding 4-5 year old outside stored fescue and Mix30. The cows are staying in excellent condition, but they started out in very good condition. I think some of them are even gaingin some excess condition now. What works one year and one place won;t alwasy work. Year to year changes and just locality variations all enter into how managment practices have to be adjusted. dun [/QUOTE]
