Hi everyone.
I have a 20 month old brahman bull that is not with cows or heifers he's by himself . He's about 1040lbs
I have another one that is with 101 heifers not all are of breeding age. He is 29 months old and is about 1100lbs or so.
They younger one is grazing on grass only. I would like to start giving him feed today or tomorrow. The 29 month old receives 7-10 lbs of feed daily and as per the nutritional value on the bag of feed it has 12% protein he looks a little thicker now. Should he receive more lbs per day or should i buy a feed that has an 18% value of protein. What is the formula for him to gain weight? How much does he need?
Same goes for the 20 month old brahman. I know once he starts working he's going to loose weight.
Any help would be appreciated it.
This is the 20 month old
This is the one that is with the heifers.
