I bought 3 cows that had calves on them red angus cows the calve weight around 500 lbs or more when I bought them, the cows are not breed back. The cows are pretty runed down so I weaned the calves and wormed them about 3 weeks ago they have gained alittle weight but not much I was going to turn the bull in with them in Dec and would like for them to be in better shape first. Iam feeding them good hay and they are still grazing on pasture. So how much grain would you feed them to get them fatten up a little I know to start off slow and work them up Iam feeding ground ear corn and corn gluten mix (I mix 800 lbs of ear corn and 200 lbs of gluten) I have been giving the 3 about a 5 gal bucket full a day is that enough ? Also do I have enough protein in the grain?
Thanks
