[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1360221, member: 25728"] In the past we've kept replacement heifers in their own lot until ready to breed, giving hay and supplementing with a little grain to help them grow. I'm not too sure the grain was really all that helpful or necessary especially with decent hay. The Bull or Bulls usually gets wintered with the cow herd. I'm trying to plan for this winter and intend on keeping quite a few replacements, more than normal. Wondering if I'm better off to let the heifers stay with the cow herd and pen the bull up? Seems to be less work that way and I could give the bull some grain to make sure he's in good condition come spring... How do the rest of you do it and what are the advantages? [/QUOTE]
