[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 783129, member: 7645"] Knersie there are beef cattle seedstock herds here who get a visit from a feedtruck delivering their scientifically balanced ration 365 days a year even when the cows are standing in highly fertilized improved pasture (arguably that isn't "creep feeding" even when the calves have their head in the bunk next to their dam). That the top 10-20% of some of these high growth EPD herds wean in excess of 900 lb calves is no great shock. After 180++ days eating grain the transition to full feed is not difficult. Then inevitably some sucker with 2 inch tall grass buys one of these 1600++ lb pig fat bulls at 13 months old, doesn't transition him at all from grain to grass, and turns him loose with 90 cows and older bulls to fight then comes on here and complains that his bull "fell apart".
