[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1389048, member: 21715"] Through a series of unplanned events, I am the proud (?) owner of five dink commercial BA heifers. They're all around 8-9 months old and the heaviest one is maybe 300 lbs. The lightest two are twins and might not even be 200lbs. Four of them have clear eyes; one has a single partially blue eye. Good attitudes. I believe all were given one round of shots this summer. If these were yours, what would you do? I'm having difficulty deciding between selling them now and being done with them ... vs ... feeding them for 2-4 weeks to try to at least get a little condition on them ... vs ... keeping them through to spring grass to see if any catch up (low probability) and sell all that don't in the May / June / July time period. While I'm figuring it out, I'm feeding them about 5lbs / head of DDG every other day, plus free choice hay and a good loose mineral. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
