[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1840516, member: 42463"] One of the things I've learned on this forum is that a lot of people will buy the cheapest animals they can find, expecting good results from what they feed them. As though minerals and cubes and supplemental grain and hay tested for nutrients will make their animals better... [USER=968]@Jeanne - Simme Valley[/USER] is using everything she knows to do it the opposite way... growing the highest quality cows she can and getting the best results from genetics, and with as few feed expenses and efforts as possible. And she's getting excellent results. She's not starving her animals in any way, or going cheap on anything, but she starts with good animals. That's her starting point. Like I've been saying... spend a little more to buy the better cows, mothers that you will be keeping for 5 years average or more... and don't worry as much (AS much) about trying to feed your calves up to something they will never be because they came out of crap cows.
