[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 1933136, member: 2119"] Finished some heifers a couple of years ago on 4 kg of home mix based on rolled barley and oats and urea based protein mineral supplement. Also fed them chopped roots and potatoes and hay or haylage. The chopped roots helped the moisture and intakes. Everybody said go ad lib barley but they tended to get acidosis. this time, if we get to that stage, we hope to keep the bull calves entire and finish on grain by 16 months. The heifers which would also be shorthorn cross would be kept if they are anything like. [/QUOTE]
