[QUOTE="mom to 4, post: 337864, member: 5790"] I'm new to the forum and in need of advice. I've been around and looked after cattle all my life and far as the physical end of it goes, but pretty much left the nutrition end of it to my dad. Now my husband and I are getting ready to take over the operation eventually and we have a lot to learn! We have about 70 beef cows, some nursing fall calves and some due to start calving in about 2 weeks. It's cold here... highs right around freezing most days. The cattle are on pasture (what's left of it) and being fed every other day fescue pasture hay and 18% corn gluten pellets (about 4-5 lbs per head every other day). We had a drought last summer and are short on legume hay, so he's been parceling out the alfalfa a little at a time. It just seems to me they aren't getting enough. I haven't been able to make enough sense of the nutritional guidelines yet to formulate what we ought to be giving them. I just need real practical advice in lbs. per head per day. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
