[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1663725, member: 40587"] If others get a little bony, too, before weaning, then I'd suspect the problem may lie in the quality of pasture and hay. She may be a harder-keeper than the others, I just don't know. Yes, a month on that mix will do wonders, but my guess is you'd have to keep it up or she will go down again if you breed her. I just don't have a lot of experience with a situation like yours. I have bought poor condition cattle, and gotten them fat and healthy to sell., but this took just a few months. Like most on here, if I had a cow like that in a cow-calf operation, I would have already sold her, especially once she missed a calf season. Maybe some of the others who know a lot more about it than me, will chime in. You said she was angus cross? Any chance she is part dairy, like Holstein? [/QUOTE]
