[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 1104466, member: 9115"] Just wondered, how much trouble does feeding grain in third trimester really cause"? Don't want an opinion from,"Don't really know much about the bull, the epd said he was calving ease." Who has had a proven bull, several crops, then fed the cows one year and had nothing but trouble"? Reason I'm asking, I calve in late winter, feed cows in lots to sort every couple days, and never really had a problem. This year I had 2 heifers that got in with my yearlings, ate 5-6 lbs. of 14% mix daily since first part of Oct. Saw they were gonna' calve the other day so I got them in, just had been too lazy before that, and they had their calves unassisted, no problems. Those two had late put up brome hay and the grain. What is the difference between that and near dairy quality hay and protein tubs in the third trimester"? Just wondering cuz' everyone is always afraid to feed cows any grain. BTW around 30 calves on the ground and only 2 bulls so far. gs [/QUOTE]
