[QUOTE="dun, post: 502084, member: 34"] CB's changing cows instead of grass brought to mind a stray thought I had the other day. I get concerned because our cows get fat over the winter eating pretty crappy hay. It makes me somewhat concerned about possible calving problems because of them being fat, haven;t had the problem but I can;t help thinking about it. When we had the last ice storm and the cows are laying areound on the ice with a 1/2 inch of ice coating their backs and they aren;t steaming and the ice isn;t melting it makes me think that all that fat can be a pretty good thing. I think we'll just keep selecting for the easy keepers that raise good calves instead of worrying about the fat. [/QUOTE]
