[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 275107, member: 1900"] be careful - we bought open heifers (who turned out to be bred) that came off an oat field. We don't have oats, but we do have good hay and grass and we had liquid protein out. They lost so much weight after calving, they didn't re-breed for several months. Now, they are maintaining weight and producing excellent calves every 11-12 months. They were so acclimated to the high protein knee high oats, they wouldn't search or eat for several months. I've learned to not provide too much for them. [/QUOTE]
