[QUOTE="Aero, post: 639786, member: 2076"] i bet i dont average #5/week for the whole herd. :shock: i think a lot can be done by finding animals that thrive in your individual environment w/ little extra inputs. If you dont have grazing available, then hay or baleage is what you have to do. but the corn sounds like a feel-good measure for the farmer's benefit. You would have to be in the arctic to [i]need[/i] corn supplement. if you are selling animals on looks, it's a whole different world and commercial economics dont apply. if they cant get enough nutrition from the hay or baleage, they are not a fit for their environment. If there is any grass in the pasture during the dead of winter, those cows better go get it. if there is no grass left, they better smile while eating hay only. If they cant stay in good shape on free-choice hay, they will belong to someone else... Including heifers!! [/QUOTE]
