[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 135875, member: 2258"] What kind of shape are they in? to start with. Dexters are small cattle. so they won't require as much feed as a normal sized cow. Feed bags are getting less and less informative on amount to feed. but if I were you I'd go to the feed store and have them figure, per head, concidering how much they weight, how much they need a day to supplement the grass or hay they are getting, also you have to take into concideration, what the content/quality is of the forage they are eating. but I wouldn't think 3/4 of a cup is enough to do much good if any. Are you sure your vet didnt say 3/4 of a lb? that would be conciderably more quantity of feed. but whatever you do, do your research and increase the amount of feed slowly. Don't up the feed intake all at once. [/QUOTE]
