[QUOTE="Fishhook S Cattle, post: 1810411, member: 43239"] Just picking, but…I love the term “horse hay”. Hay is either poor, average, or excellent Quality. No matter what species eats it. That being said, I prefer forage over feed. I use Sweetpro blocks ( 16% with heifers) in conjunction with standing forage or hay/haylage. A heifer is going to typically eat around 2.5% of her body weight in dry matter. That may increase depending on the needs of the calf. Let’s remember, a heifer has a maintenance, growth, gestation or lactation requirement and nutrition is key to fetal programming during gestation. [/QUOTE]
