[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 230502, member: 2095"] I agree. Puting 750-850 lb stockers in a feedlot does not really bother me at all; but I remember when my grandfather put up 2 rolls of hay per mama cow wintered and used grain sparingly during winter months only (before somebody from a mountain in Idaho jumps on me...remember that I am talking about old style English cows grazing fescue/clover pastures in ALABAMA) and stockers were raised on grass. Too many cows today are built for daily grain supplementation six-seven months plus out of the year and I know people who feed a lot more than that. While that MIGHT make a better feedlot calf, I am not sure that is profitable for this industry if we ever have to pay $3++ a bushel for grain. [/QUOTE]
