[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1521170, member: 27059"] every pasture is different. I would be sure to put out some high mineral if you put thin cows out on lush pasture. I have a 2 acre pasture that surprisingly has quite nice grass with 16 head on it. 3 -2 year.olds in milk, 6 yearling heifers, 7 calves. But they also have a round bale of grass hay and get grain everyday. As the cows (2 jersey) are working as nurse cows I must feed then grain To properly maintain them. Last summer the same pasture had 8 yearlings (1 bull, 7 heifers) that only ate one round bale a month and no grain. But then there is my horse pasture 6 acres. It is purely entertainment as it is grazed pretty short. They get hay year round and most get grain. Raising foals or old. If I were you I would put the skinny ones in there and see how it goes. Feed them a bunch of hay right before you move them into it. [/QUOTE]
