[QUOTE="Cowdirt, post: 649646, member: 2609"] Countrygal, I have a small commercial operation. I expect my cattle to lose some condition, sometimes considerable if they are nursing a calf, toward late winter. I don't feed anything except grass, mixed grass hay and minerals, all freechoice. When the spring flush of pasture begins they quit the hay and gain quickly. If you want to maintain better condition all winter then you pay the price with supplemental feed. Your choice. However, sounds like you have reason to be concerned about your stocking rate for your pasture. I'd watch that closely and adjust my numbers if necessary. [/QUOTE]
