[QUOTE="dun, post: 49312, member: 34"] Depends on what you consider "plenty growthy". Our Red Angus and F1s just get good quality pasture after a couple of weeks of grain right at weaning. Too much supplement at this point can cause fatty udders that will decrease milk production. As yearlings our heifers run around 750-800 and calve at around 1000-1050. The only supplement they get is a high quality mineral and white salt. If the weather is going to be severe we'll give them a little corn gluten for a couple of days before and after the cold. Other then that it's strictly medium quality hay or stockpiled fescue pasture. They cycle and breed first service over 90% and are bred to calve at 23-24 months. dun [/QUOTE]
