[QUOTE="iafarmer07, post: 489824, member: 7535"] i believe it is true, in an area where they have moderate to hard winters...such as here in iowa. we have moderate winters and calves do not gain as much in the winter as they would...say in the summer. when its cold, the calves have to use the feed you are giving them to create body heat and mantain body weight. i have heard, all though never practiced it, that feed rations should be raised a little bit more in the winter to allow them to gain more...i know alot of guys that dont, me included, because of the expense issue. i hope this all makes sense to you...
