[QUOTE="coolpop, post: 413992, member: 2628"] there lies the problem - the horses are not ours, we run a few heifers on our friend/neighbor's property 30 acres. The neighbors are a little testy about me feeding the cattle in a corral area I set up because the horses get jealous and wild acting - so the alternative is to free choice feed in a hay ring - the horses will stand at the ring all day long keeping the cattle from eating. We have culled 4 animals from there and probably more, then will bring the remaining girls to our field for the winter as they will have calves by their sides this winter. Thanks for everyones replies -- you've confirmed what I thought was happening last winter. PS - the horses were huge this past winter - in the past when the neighbors were buying hay (we make hay on them and 2 other fields) they were not a free choice with the hay. [/QUOTE]
