[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 297669, member: 1017"] Under normal circumstances they probably would have been alright without anything besides grass. The problem is, these bulls are 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 yrs old. The younger bull is still growing and the older bull is probably just leveling off. Also with the drought this summer, the grass they got after being taken away from the cows was in short supply. This caused them to not really start gaining much weight back until later this fall when the grass actually came back a little. You guys are getting too technical on me, not that I don't have a basic knowledge of the nutritional requirements of a bull. I'm just looking for a recipe basically for a [b][u]LOW ENERGY[/u][/b] ration that some of you may have used in the past that will help gain weight without giving an excess amount of energy. Seems like I have heard somewhere that either cottonseed hulls or soyhull pellets was a good ingredient for this type of mixture. Any thoughts or experiences? [/QUOTE]
