[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1660982, member: 38220"] Precipitation can soften up old coarse grass and make it more palatable. They need protein to be able to digest dormant grass well. If you can find a protein source to supplement, they will make good use of dormant forages. I will bump them with about 10 pounds of alfalfa every couple of days or about 2.5 pounds of 23-28% cake every day and they stay in good condition until calving in March. Once calves start dropping I bump the alfalfa to 15-20 pounds per day and they do fine. We don't get much grass growth until late April. [/QUOTE]
