[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1181859, member: 17986"] I bet you being in Kentucky that you have a good bit of Fescue grass growing in your pasture. it is a cool season grass and will help on the hay bill. We allow free choice access to HiMag mineral starting in the early fall and on into late spring. This will help with the transition from hay to new grass. Given a choice our cattle prefer regular mineral salt during this time so we offer only the HiMag. 8 acres should be ample acres for two calves. Offer calf manna and clean fresh water at an early age along with the bottle. They will get bored and nibble and drink. I will suggest not naming them. Take that with a grain of salt. We always end up naming everything. Good luck and happy trails. [/QUOTE]
