[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1025968, member: 6897"] In your climate you may be able to stockpile a little grass..not a lot. Have you tried liquid feed as apposed to the tubs?? Cost about 25% as much, the dealer fills them up for you and you can stay in bed. Cattle need more than protein. During the winter season energy is just as critical if not more so even tho we in Texas have milder winteres than the folks up north. They need to be able to generate heat and most are nursing calves at the same time so we need something to make milk as well. As CB said they will walk off more calories than they can ever take in just trying to get a "full feeling"....A few pounds of supplement and a bit of worthless grass (the kind we have in Texas) won't do it. Get the best hay you can get your hands on and feed it. It will give bossy what she needs for maintenance, production and reproduction. And she'll put some nutrients back into your soil. Now I'm sure we have some miracle workers that can and will counter every bit of this. [/QUOTE]
