[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 720936, member: 7795"] Yes, weaned calves (which for me is developing replacement heifers), cows, and bulls. Heifers will get a couple pounds of range cubes (I have notice some call it cake) for several weeks after weaning to train them to lead anywhere you want to go with them (always looking for a handout after that.) After that it is whenever I feel generous or want to move them (sometimes they just don't think they want to move until they hear you rip open the bag.) Guess I need to mention the 18% all natural molasses tubs I use when forage quality hits the skids. Went thru a lot of them last year, not anywhere near as many this year. The cows have just about stopped using them over the past 3 months. Because the calves seem to like them I am reluctant to remove them. Really need to fix an area where the calves can get to them and keep the cows away. Winter pastures has been the way to go around here for a long time. Climate and environment is what makes that possible here. How much longer that will last with the rising cost to get them established is something I really can't answer. [/QUOTE]
