[QUOTE="redsimangus, post: 1165877, member: 22559"] OK I've been thinking of running stocker cattle. I would like to do an all hay diet instead of grain since my cost would be about half. I know that the adg won't be neat as good but it will be a lot cheaper gain. the calves would be bought as 5 weights an run for 100 to 150 days on hay. however I don't think our hay would be good enough protein an all. we have PLENTY of prairie hay but would I need to supplement a little afalfa? if so how many pounds? I would want the calves to gain at least 1.25 but preferably 1.5 #s a day. is that unreasonable? thanks [/QUOTE]
