I've been running 5-7 wt. weaned steer calves from Spring to Late Summer or early Fall. They eat grass obviously and all is well with the usual cattle problems here and there.
If I wanted to run steers or heifers through the winter what is needed besides hay & mineral for decent gain? I would prefer not to feed them grain as I can't see how it would work when I put the pencil to it. With decent hay could I expect 1.5 lb. daily gain?
Just thinking about different options, any other ideas are welcome.
