[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 741207, member: 694"] Not argueing with your vet. If you feed grass, hay and minerals this is all a cow should need. Now for the real question is your hay so poor they need to be supplemented, do you have a management problem of heavy parasite infestation robbing your cattle of nutrients. Do you have a shelter? Simple as a loafing shed or a thicket for protection. Cows can take cold , rain, cold and wind raise there energy requirements astronomically. Cow standing at the hay ring bowed up and feeding is in trouble. Going back in the day we managed cows a lot different than today as we didn't feed hay or anything, cows had to survive in the woods. We lost cattle I can still hear my Dad or Uncle's saying that old cow ain't going to make it this winter and didn't. Now we had some tough cows geneticaly as only the very strongest survived as the good Lord intended. On a second note we didn't have the quality of cattle we do today and the old timers could never unterstand you can't starve profit into a cow. Today the trend has reversed and I see people trying to feed profit into a cow out of a sack and you can't do that either. [/QUOTE]
