[QUOTE="jhambley, post: 670976, member: 1535"] Knersie, I spoke to Mr Hathcock again this morning and he said he feeds 3 pounds or distillers grain or corn gluten until the heifers are about 16 months old then they start his "boot camp". No supplementation after that. His pastures are fescue and white clover. In the summer the forages are dallas, crab, and bermuda grasses. He says that's the strength of the Trask cattle. They've been bred for decades to thrive on forage only. This particular calf has four shots of a cow named NT Sadie Boc FF. She's 18 years old now and still at Bent Tree Farms. So to answer your question, she's raised this calf and held her condition on pasture only. Here's a photo of her. [img]http://www.alpinecreek.com/herefords/sadieboc.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
