[QUOTE="novatech, post: 555284, member: 5494"] You are right about the Brahman eating almost anything. Their foraging ability is great. Depending on the severity of the winter Brahman cattle can suffer a great deal in cold temperatures. Because of this they need extra forage during the winter. Brahman cattle are tropical, they do great in the heat. Winter can be rough on them. The colder it gets the more energy their body will consume. It is important to bring your cattle into the winter with a good BCS as they may need the reserve. Although I believe in the hay-less idea and pretty much go that way I also like to feed them some sweet cane type hay when we get below freezing weather. I also recommend that you make sure they have a good wind break. [/QUOTE]
