cows are in great condition right now. grass is still very thick. they have been on the same pasture since last july and the grass just keeps growing! calves are enormous as well. our first one was born in early april and hes as big or bigger as the angus calves that were born in feb. i think that guy just said that because he doesnt our spotted cows.
Your neighbor is full of BS. Sounds like your cows are getting everything they need to milk up to their genetic potenial, execpt as was earilier stated, get rid of the salt blocks and get them on a good, complete, balanced, loose mineral program. BTW, if there is plenty of growing grass, they won't touch the dry hay anyway.
