[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 916824, member: 17234"] I could have sworn I read you write "it snowed 185 days" one year at your place. How, in an area where you have to supplement the land and feed during those 185+ days, can you say your herd "maintains" a higher BCS? When I hear people speaking in terms of "maintaining condition" it is generally in the sense of what they can do WITHOUT supplement. Cattle here are their fattest about DEC 1 and then from there gradually lose condition, calve mid jan-feb, then about march 1 they're at their poorest bcs of the year- spring annuals start coming and they start gaining again. They gain till early july maintain till late sep and gain a little from oct-dec1. [/QUOTE]
