[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 816447, member: 9115"] Jim, your cows always look great, and I like what you do with the corn fields. Just wondering for other people, when Jim says his cows have only been on hay and mineral, is there any commercial herd that the cows are on anyhting else in the winter and late gestation? I end up feeding mine about 2 lbs. of commodity pellets when we get the mud, Mar. and early April, mainly because my hay just can't supply enough energy for them to stay in shape nursing 90-50 day old calves. I have gotten my calving season a lot shorter by doing this, doesn't cost much and they breed back so much better. Not to mention the help it gives the younger cows. Do people that try to make money off their cattle feed grain all winter? I don't think I know of anyone around here, I know this has been disscussed before, but does anyone actually know a commercial producer that grains the cows? gs [/QUOTE]
