[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1710167, member: 17524"] That's what we always did, except we never had any alfalfa hay to feed; mixed hay would have been better as you are able to do. We just had straight grass, but we fed the best we had. We tried to cut it before the grass headed out, (that's when it has the most nutrition but you can't always do it at that stage--we have tested lots of hay and it's best when it is cut early as possible and still get some tonnage). We kept them on free choice loose mineral too. Our replacement heifers weighed 780# mid May. We turn the bulls in to calve the end of March. Our heifers done this way bred up in 30 days just fine.
