[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 598699, member: 7956"] I am with you. I feed my bulls after weaning a ration consisting of dry distillers grain and cracked corn, and the premix. Only about 7-8 pounds of the ration a day, along with free choice grass hay and 5 lbs of alfalfa a day. Mine then get sent to the association's "test" in early summer, and are sold as 19-20 month old bulls in the fall. The test really isn't a test to see who can gain the most. They get fed a very high forage ration. In my area, a lot of guys have smaller pastures, (myself included) with maybe only 15-25 pairs. Sticking a yearling bull in with more than 15 cows to service can lead to not so good things, where a 20 -24 month old bull would handle them just fine. [/QUOTE]
