[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 609804, member: 8829"] CT I know you are new here so let me give you alittle bit of info. there are people from all over the world on these boards and one thing to keep in mind is that what works in your region may not work in another. Dun and myself are in a region where some years we only have to feed hay a marginal # of days and some yrs we feed for several months it doesn't matter if you have 500 acres of winter annuals they don't work if they are covered with snow or ice so you either feed hay or starve your cows, some of the others are from texas and the south have had a drought for a few yrs so ya either feed hay or sell the cows or both,then ya got the Northern set (canada included) who if they didn't feed hay they could not raise cows but 4-5 months a yr. Then ya got the ones from South Africa and Australia who have enlightened us to a totaly different style of raising animals So just remember before you start criticizing how someone does things their environment and weather play the largest part of management strategy AC and if I left any region out it wasn't intentional just trying to make a point [/QUOTE]
