[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1821103, member: 32659"] Yes. Hot and dry. Once the temps get above 95* from 10am to 8 pm and we don’t have rain the grass looses it's punch and the cattle end up grazing too late into the morning at start back too early in the evening to gain any weight. When temps are 100-105* for days on end like this year you can forget any gain at all, in fact they may loose weight. I've got a friend that contracts his so he feeds them from weaning in November until sale time in late July. He says they gain very little if anything even on feed. I've tried the stock piling grass desl in the winter and it doesn't work here. The grass pretty much turns to cardboard and has no value. [/QUOTE]
