[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1081103, member: 1715"] I still have my bred heifers out on pasture. I have not tried grazing this late before, and we are having a very cold December with about 14" of soft snow so far. Drifts are crotch deep. The best fescue and OG mix is on a south facing slope, but the heifers are hanging in the low meadows most of the time. They don't go to the Richie water every day. It appears that their priority is staying out of the wind. When you drive past the neighbor feeding corn silage and up to my well house, they just stand and watch - - not bellowing or complaining or running to the gate. I was concerned about them getting enough feed - - but as long as they don't lose too much condition is there any potential problem with this set up? [/QUOTE]
