[QUOTE="cowcrazy07, post: 345103, member: 5913"] Since you said you don't have much experience, you might go to this website to get an idea of what kind of shape your cattle are in. To me they look to be about 5/6 ? with all that hair it makes it hard to see. [url=http://www.cowbcs.info/]http://www.cowbcs.info/[/url] It gives body condition scores for angus cattle-we usually try to keep them a 4/5 after calving thru weaning period where they will re-breed. After breeding season just good grass/hay/mineral and water should be all they need since they have 9 months to pick the weight back up. As for heifers same applies- you want them 65%(12-14months) of their mature weight at breeding and 85%(21-23mo.) at calving. Managing your inputs is what makes or breaks you- unless this is show cattle that you need extra finish on, keep you feeding simple and low cost. Hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
