[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 414095, member: 2308"] Just grain should be fine. Did she get bred at 12-13 months or calve at 12-13 months? While 12-13 months is a bit early to breed, it isn't that bad. Most people breed at between 14-16 months old, so they calve near 24 months old. If she is poorer than her contemperaries, it may just be that she is a poorer doing animal. If she requires grain to keep her weight up then she could be a candidate for the cull pen. Personally, I would feed her up a bit, and then see how she holds her condition on just grass/hay alone. On the other hand, if she CALVED at 12-13 months, by all means, feed her up some. That is quite young to have a calf. And I would definitely give her another chance. She may never fill out to the same extent as the rest the herd. [/QUOTE]
