[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1264984, member: 14689"] TexasBred , your right. What I have been doing is just fine. There is the old saying about if it aint broke dont fix it, but now I have a new "tool" to work with. I do not want to sacrifice quality,even If it means not even using my new tool, so to speak. Just wondering if I could help my bottom line this year with the hay.Having high quality hay to feed is a goal along with a proper way to use it.To me the bull calves are the perfect candidate for the extra protien. I like to ease the heifers along,but the bulls are going to work at 15 months where the heifers will just get bred at that age. Plenty of muscle on a good long yearling is great, but there can be too much of a good thing. The feed doesnt get too bad until the bulls reach 11-12 mo. Thats when it really ramps up and I was hoping to use my new feed source to hold cost at bay and still deliver the nutrition nessesary plus a little. Good long yearlings are valuable these days....
