[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1681127, member: 38038"] I have heard a long time ago that it is not a good situation to try adding weight or BCS to 3rd trimester cattle. the reason behind that was that the calf would grow and gain weight easier and faster than the cow; therfore if the cow is already in less than average condition, the calving process becomes even more of a problem. I would suggest talking to a nutritionist about post calving feeding program. I personally would limit pasture intake and start feeding a higher quallity hay and grain combo, but price and availability would be a factor for doing that. [/QUOTE]
