[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 52773, member: 9"] Forage base is native bermudagrass. Hay we feed varies between about 8 and 14% protein. We've tried haygrazer, redtop cane, bluestem, and bermuda in round bales. Bermuda has been the best with less waste even in a round bale feeder. YES...with plenty of pasture forage and mineral supplement they CAN survive and look good without supplemental hay except in winter. The ranchers around here that have bought our breeding stock DO have proper pasture. We just have to keep our animals' condition up due to our intensive management (due to limited acreage). Like I said on another post, we've only put one yearling bull in freezer due to what WE felt was not up to our standards for breeding (or sale to someone else). The [i]cheapest[/i] weaned bull calf we have sold was $800. and, he was discounted since we sold the rancher a 3 in 1 package deal. Otherwise, our weaned calves [i]start[/i] at $1,000. [/QUOTE]
