[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 435566, member: 1974"] Do you read even worse than you write? Maybe you are ASSuming things based on the picture and not what I wrote? Let me repeat: The cows & calves pictured in this post have not received any grain or grain by-products this year. They have had hay due to the drought. As a matter-of-fact, we do use feed troughs as salt/mineral feeders. I only put out enough to last 3-7 days. Since we practice MIG the cows are moved frequently and I like a 'mineral feeder' which is easily moved. I also like to keep the salt/mineral fresh, and putting out a few days supply at a time ensures it is fresh. This group of cows was separated from the herd that went back to the field. Two pairs have calves I want to break for show, those are the calves I pictured. Two cows are fall calvers and I wanted them separated. Two cows just calved in the last two weeks, those pairs will remain with the two to freshen. Two pairs are marked to cull. We did start to supplement this group with grain, at .90/lb on the rail the cull cows will add profit from the grain. The fall calvers don't need it at this time but will in another month when milking demands coincide with colder temps and breeding demands on the cow. And the future show heifers will need grain to be competitive and be easily weaned at 7 months. Need any more information before you spout off nonsense? [/QUOTE]
