[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1579404, member: 27490"] I watch my developing heifers closer than the cows or bull calves. All the calves get a feed mix starting at about 4 to 6 weeks old. It is put out in a feeder by bucket. So limited feeding. After weaning, the heifers go into the smallest pasture where they never get any grain from then on. But even there, they get enough grass that they gain and put on weight. I watch their udders. This year particularly. The grass is outstanding. Regarding the first six months of weight gain in cows. That is exactly when mine gain the most. I calve in the fall. The cows are on hay and nursing. It pulls off a good amount of conditioning. Then about mid March, they go on pasture and they gain that weight back quickly. [/QUOTE]
