[QUOTE="The Kernel, post: 4551246, member: 10720"] Hi. I've got 70 hereford crosses mixed with a few Belgium blues and sims still out at grass, due to me finishing there shed off, but I will be fetching them in, in two days time. I've only ever sold as stores before, so it's my first time fattening. I'm after some tips on how to get them up to ad lib corn and spuds safely. I've got oats barley and spuds available to me. The reason I was thinking ad lib was because I'm already carrying silly amounts of buckets of corn for the younger cattle and still bedding by hand, there is also another 70 big cattle out on turnips and kale to come in after Christmas for fattening. I thought oats might be good for starting them on corn but don't know what amount I might get away with plus the husk might keep the s##t drier if there a big tub of spuds to go at. Got plenty of silage as we'll. Sorry for long post but any help would be useful as I may be a little out of my depth at the mo. I will reply later when I can but big push today to finish feed fence, if I'm on my iPad all day the lads might give me angry looks. [/QUOTE]
