[QUOTE="iowahawkeyes, post: 509178, member: 5124"] [color=#8000BF]There are a few factors here. If you are feeding hay, what kind is it? We were feeding alfalfa that was decent quality so we feed no grain. Now we are feeding poorer grass hay and supplement with a little corn. I think the protein is the key thing here, too much protein makes bigger calves. Corn provides energy for the cows, not necessarily making the calves bigger. You have colder weather than us so you know they need more energy in the winter than down south.[/color] [/QUOTE]
