[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 185458, member: 2830"] We raise Horned Herfs. Usually calve them out at around 14 - 1500 pounds. They get the following for feed: Hay, mineral, water. If it gets real cold - below minus 30 or so - I might - if I have the inclination - throw them some corn. No, they are not bags of bones and no they are not low quality cattle. If you want to see some pics - go here: [url=http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10897&highlight=bezs+herfs]http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic. ... bezs+herfs[/url] and follow the thread. They are all bred and all living outside. Get your hay tested - 11 - 12% protein or better and they are getting all they need. You absolutely do not need to feed a bunch of store bought stuff to the cows. It is for the most part a waste of money and a waste of time. Genetics and good hay will do most for you. Mineral and water come right in at a near second. On top of all my comments, you are raising Highlands. They were developed to survive on rough feed. Give them the hi classed food and stand the potential of doing your part to reduce this breed to a grain dependant animal. Believe me, the originals were developed to eat twigs and bark and old weeds and do well. Regards, Bez! [/QUOTE]
