[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1768290, member: 16453"] Most bulls you see in catalogues have been developed on grain or forage crops to get them to a presentable weight for sales, yours will get there, just take a bit longer. I sell bulls as yearlings around 13 months, they get nothing other than grass up to weaning in autumn, they remain on poor quality grass over winter but are supplemented with grain to keep gaining at 1-1.5 kg/day over winter. I shoot for 600 kg which gives me a marketable product but they are not overdone as their frame is growing fast as well when helped along. Ken [/QUOTE]
