[QUOTE="Vader, post: 7482821, member: 82564"] Blues, limo and blondes crossed cows. All back to limo or blonde bull. Getting cover is as much to genetics as to food. When I took over herd from old man I looked at the cows condition when they came in at autumn. Some cows were fat as butter, others thin and boney. All ate same grass. So some convert it better. I culled all poor cows and kept heifers off the fat ones. Bulls took off mothers at about 7-8 months at end of summer. Put on rolled barley with bit of protein mixed in. Once onto it then kept ad lib. Same with clean straw to eat. That's it. No fancy feeder wagon multi ingredient stuff. [/QUOTE]
