[QUOTE="preston39, post: 440729, member: 1487"] ============== Hayes..., Hang in there. ..tough. Concluding that the cows bred back, taking a hit on the body score of 1 to 1-1/2 should not hurt. You may have smaller calves next. But, part of the price to pay. I would pull the calves off...now. TRY to keep the cows in as good of body condition as possible.....going into winter. I believe your area was included in the extreme drought class(USDA) as us and that makes set-aside available for pasture and hay. May not be the best but could help with proper minerals and supplements. Explore it, there may be some available. I think you are correct the price of good cows come spring will be up..... major style. We have culled in the commercial herd.... heavy. That will give us sustaining hay and an opportunity for mid winter buys. Check out the following for some help on rations options; [url=http://beefmagazine.com/mag/beef_feed_composition_tables/]http://beefmagazine.com/mag/beef_feed_c ... on_tables/[/url] [url=http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/sanders85.html]http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/sanders85.html[/url] [url=http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/livestk/01618.html]http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/livestk/01618.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
