[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1439267, member: 25884"] If there is grass, then no feed unless you are teaching them to come to call like into a catch pen. After about a week or so they will quit with the bawling. I will feed a 5 gal bucket which is about 25 lbs to about 15-25 when I am wanting to get them to come to me. That's like 1 lb per head usually and that is only to get them to do what I want. In the winter, they get all the hay they want, the first calf heifers might get 1 lb per head twice a week, the calves will get 1 lb in the catch pen that has a creep gate 2-3 times a week to teach them to come in, the old grandma cows will get 1-2 lbs per head 3-4 times a week. Mineral and salt and hay is free choice. But in the summer, if they can't make milk and take care of their calf and keep up their own body condition on decent pasture, they are the wrong kind of cows for us. [/QUOTE]
