[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 122893, member: 1101"] You failed to mention the following: How many cows? How many days of winter? ( how long ya got to feed them?) any pasture available? Supplimental feeding ( should be little with highlands usually) what kind and quality of hay? how cold does it get there on average? yup lots to think about.. But hay (scuse the pun) the great thing about Highlanders... they are not just grazers, they also browse... meaning alot more food for them out there. I rarely grain my highlands...........they do very nicely on hay 90% of the time during winter. They also can stand alot more harsh weather then most continental cattle. meaning it is rare to see them come into the barn. one thing I would offer is salt and or minerals that contain a higher amount of sulfer for them.. they have a greater need then other breeds. Good luck! :cboy: [/QUOTE]
