[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 809737, member: 3177"] IF you live where there is good grazing year round, go for it. If not, you better feed your bulls. I see no issues with feeding bulls grain, or even pushing them a little with grain. Most buyers look to buy well conditioned cattle first, they will do this before they look at epd's, actual data, pigment, and dam appearance. If you feed a bull correctly they shouldn't "fall apart", besides I prefer for my bulls to lose fat before muscle when being worked hard. Usually the weight loss is minimal, but in the end it takes me less inputs to get that bull ready to breed again the next year. I don't have grazing year round, and even if I did I would still feed the bulls an energy source or a protein source to make up for whatever might be lacking in the grazing. [/QUOTE]
