[QUOTE="dun, post: 935019, member: 34"] There is no one best answer for any of your questions. Brahman influence cattle generally don;t do as well as cattle without ear around here. Around here being the salebarns @ Lebanon, Buffalo or Springfield. Unless you are feeding wet cows during the winter they shouldn't require any kind of supplement unless your hay or stockpiled forages are really bad. During the summer (unless it's a drought) you shouldn;t need any supplements for even the wet cows either. Hay forage, water and a looae mineral formulated for this area is all that is generally required. We feed high mag mineral in the early spring (prevent grass tetany) and minerals with IGR during fly season. All year round we have CTC in the minerals but there is no way of knowing how much longer the CTTC will be allowed. Destocking now as you have done gives you an opportunity to get your ingrastructure improvements done if needed and getting your pastures improved, i.e soil test and fertilize and/or lime, weed control, seeding legumes, etc. [/QUOTE]
