[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1708683, member: 17524"] I can tell you this, let a heifer get hungry and then watch how bad they want to be mothers. We never had the problem of them being hungry, so it was never an issue with us, but a big ranch did and they paid for it. The ranch manager moved the hay from that ranch over to another ranch he managed and the heifers where the hay was moved from, didn't have enough during the winter. At calving time, they were hungry and left their calves to find some groceries. They did not care about their calves. We were friends with the cowboys who took care of them and got the story several times. I'm not sure how big of country you run in, but this was a big ranch in Montana. [/QUOTE]
