[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 256927, member: 3177"] I don't grain the cows, they live through the winter on milo, a bail every now and again. The calves that I keep to raise to a year will recieve about 5lbs of grain a day and stay on winter wheat. The calves that go to the sale barn will be on a different wheat pasture recieving no grain if I am going to sell them, or the same as the heifers if I am going to raise them for my butcher meat. I am going to creep feed a little to get the bulls ready for bull tests, december and january sells. I look at the cows ratio in my herd contempary group. I like for her to stay right around 100%. Creep feed or not her calf has to stay around the average weight of the other calves year in and year out for her to stay on the place. We are a registered herd therefore about 1/2 of the calves are being raised to a year old on our farm. [/QUOTE]
