Ok, try to look at these and tell me what you think. I just bought 8 Longhorns, running on 60 acres. How can I get weight on them...two of them have 5 month old calves, the others are bred back. What type of feed plan should I use.
Thanks for any advice.

i would go ahead and wean the two calves, moms need to get winterized, they look in prety good shape to me, put the feed to them heavy with hay

Those cows are not skinny......

Longhorns are lean and boney! If you want fat cows get some Brangus.
