[QUOTE="Dale L, post: 1059727, member: 21260"] We just bought six replacement heifers. They are Feb. and March calves weighing from around 500 - 700 lbs. How would you feed them to maximize their growth this winter with minimal cost? We have plenty of hay but it is not of the highest quality. A lot of it was over ripe before we could get it cut due to weather. We have some pasture that has not been grazed yet but not enough to last the entire winter. Here are three options we have considered. 1) Just turn them out on the pasture with the rest of the herd and let them have access to hay. 2) Feed hay and supplement with corn. 3) Feed hay and supplement with a protein tub or something similar.
