[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 597079, member: 6198"] You know one year we had a bit of extra cash on hand and bought some pellets for the replacer calves. We did not feed heavy, 14% backgrounder 2 and three, they also got free choice hay and mineral. When we hit -40 the got about 10# a day. The rest of the winter they got about 5-6 # a day. Worst mommas we ever had. They looked real nice when they went out with the bull. Had amazing amount of grass. Out of 26 one was open, two were late. Of the late ones, one had very little milk, she kept the protien for herself. These now cows had two calves and we shipped out alot of those replacements. They were forced too much feed, got fat and had crap for calves. Some made the grade, but others...oi...what a mess. For us hay is the best. They come out of winter looking nice and last longer.
