This is my first winter with cattle and I would appreciate any advice on winter feeding. I have 29 cows, 4 heifers that are about 500-600Lbs, 9 nursing calves, and 1 bull. I am raising these cattle on 160 acres and in my opion my pasture is fair to average as far as pastures go(the grass is now dead, but there is still plenty of it). I set 4 round bales out at a time and I have been replacing them each time they are all gone(these last about 5 days). Is this too much or just enough? Will this keep them from grazing on their own and drive my overhead up unneccesarily?
I was also advised by the co-op to use the molasses tubs that are 30% protein in place of cubes and range meal. These came out to be a little cheaper and keeps one from having to feed every day. Are these as beneficial as cubes and rangmeal and how much suppliments do beef cattle actually require?
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
