TennMan, have you tried RightNow Minerals? We've got our herd on them and have noticed a huge difference in them. We recently purchased 10 angus/brangus heifers. They are 500-750 pounds and have had them on Right Now for a month. The hair is glossy, they've added noticeable weight and we plan to breed them to our Brangus bull in February. These ladies will be fine mothers.
RightNow Minerals gives you the exact mix of minerals your animals need for the grass season that they are currently eating. These minerals even cause your mothers to come in earlier after calving because of the heavy calcium dosage they get.
Our feed supplier has an average mixed herd of cows that gave him 400-450 pound weaning weight calves last year. He put them on RightNow and this year he got 600-650 pound calves weaned.
We had heard from others this would greatly increase your weaning weight, so we decided to try it.
