[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 297310, member: 1017"] For those of you who supplement your bulls in the off season to get them back into shape, I'm looking for a new ration that will promote gaining back the weight the bulls loose during breeding, without making the bulls hyper. For example: This last set of bulls we bought are pretty easy going and generally do not tear up to much in the pasture with the cows. But with us having a spring and fall calving season, the bulls are home in a small pasture for 2 separate periods of 3 months each. During the "off" season, we generally like to supplement them with about 5-7 lbs of grain each to get them back in shape, problem is, if we feed them the same 14% growing ration that we feed the feeder calves, they get way to much energy and they start tearing things up, like fences, feeders and such. I know bulls will be bulls, but it seems to be much worse when they are on feed. Anyone have a good low energy ration that will help put back on the weight without all the orneryness??? [/QUOTE]
