[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1683139, member: 16453"] Jeanne we had a good summer, November was tough but then it started raining in early December and even though not massive amounts it kept coming at the right interval so the grass just kept growing. I have a lot of grass stockpiled. I feed the heifers once a day with a grain mix to make sure they keep gaining at .5-.75kg/ day throughout winter to match their body growth. Gizmon, yes I am happy and proud of them, this is what I breed for to be able to walk around my females and have that ahhhh feeling. Raising bulls has been a biproduct of this and while I enjoy seeing them reach their potential if it becomes too much work and not enough financial reward I will cut back to just raising a few for definite orders. I don't really want to be marketing bulls, I will be just putting the brothers of these heifers out there in spring with a price tag on them, no arguing if people want them they pay the price, any that don't sell by the following autumn go to the butchers.
