[QUOTE="kbhblazer, post: 851633, member: 16461"] The advise I have been getting has been very helpful, this is my first year to have cows and I don't have that many, 8 cows 7 calves 1 bull. I have adjusted my feed habits as I posted and get advise and I'm getting lots of that, all good. Maybe if I discribe in finer detail, I'll fine tune what I am doing. I was told about scoring cows, I looked it up and all the cows score 5+ or low 6, if that makes sense. I have cut back on the alfalfa to about 1 bale(60 lbs bales) every 2 days, instead of every other.I started cutting back to two 5 gallon buckets of cubes every other day to about 1 every other day. At this time they do have lots of burnt up grass to eat with some short green grass scattered about. I am going to get corn stalks early next week ( round bales). Just like I was told , it has been overkill what I am doing, they did get loose digestivly :lol: for sure, and havent quite cleared up. Do I stop the cubes and hay till they do or cut back even more. I'm going to hang on to them. I do enjoy them, even if the summer does suck, I have lots more respect for the ones who have done this for years and hate to read they have to cut way back or give this up. I hate it for them. Again thanks for all the advise [/QUOTE]
