[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 107600, member: 43"] Check around and see how the neighboring folks operate. You may have enough stockpiled warm season grass, plus grass that thrives in winter, to get by without any feeding. Abilene is not that awfully far north of San Saba, and each year during winter I am simply amazed at how well the rancher's cattle do on my deer lease near San Saba. In my country down along the coast, under similar conditions, they would virtually fall apart. It always seems to me that our rancher (who feeds absolutely no hay) way overstocks and by December and January the stockpiled grass is awfully short (really just nubs), but the ranch has some sort of native grass that, with a little moisture, grows pretty well and stays green even when temperatures often dip into the teens and twenties. Don't know what it is called, but it is definitely not ryegrass or fescue. The cattle stay in remarkably good condition; really strong grass out there. [/QUOTE]
