[QUOTE="dun, post: 952112, member: 34"] OK, here's how we do it. If we are retaining a lot of heifers we keep them seperate from the cow herd and feed them hay and if the hay isn't really very good we supplement with lick tubs. The bulls we turn out with the bred cows and they get stockpiled fescue and hay once the fescue runs out and if the hay isn;t very good they get lick tubs just like the heifers. If we're only keeping a couple of heifers they get turned out with the bred cows and the bulls go in the bull pen and get hay and lick tubs if the hay isn;t very good. After the 45 day weaning period when they;re fed about 1.5-2% of their weight in grain per day the only grain they get is when we have to put hay in the bull pen we tease them to the far end with just enough grain to keep them occupied so they don;t help me put a round bale in the feeder.
