[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 809425, member: 7509"] A question from a novice(me) about raising bulls: Why would you want him to gain 3.4 lb/day? Why feed him grain at all? Are you prepping him for a show or contest? I bought a "show" heifer last year about this time. My heifer really "fell apart" in my grass rotational grazing program. She finally realized her lunch wasn't coming in a bucket anymore/rumen transitioned or ... and has since started looking really good on my herd's forage/good hay diet but it took quite a while for her to make the transition. From my experience with this heifer and as suggested above, it seems like it might be a bit dangerous to suddenly take this bull off of grain and at the same time expect him to breed a large group of cows. Why all that grain? Jim [/QUOTE]
