Consistent feeding is where it's at, stock do that by themselves if you get it right.we would have had to learn to farm , with no oxytocin . starving and then over feeding just before calving , used to cause a lot of swollen undders in heifers .
Bit hard for them to manage that if all the feed is brought to them, though, and even worse if they can't balance energy/protein, the rumen is a cow's only true "boss"
