[QUOTE="dun, post: 1177847, member: 34"] When we pull the baby bulls from the retained heifers we give them a shot of lute. 45 days is all the grain they get. The 45 day number is so the steers can be sold in the pro-conditioned sales. The rest is on stockpiled grass or hay. If the hay really sucks we'll put out a tub for them every month or so. We've never had issues with reaching breeding weight by the time we start to breed. The primary reason for the 6 1/2 months is that is what is convenient, 6 months wouldn;t be too early I don;t think. Here comes the caveat, we have selected genetics for years to get animals that will thrive under our warped managment methods. [/QUOTE]
