[QUOTE="puppet, post: 7775861, member: 25962"] A suckler cow has to get through the winter and produce a calf and some milk. Nothing else until grass puts fat back on her to get in calf again. Just silage and minerals here and they will lose condition gradually. Last month should be a stable diet as calf is growing rapidly then. A fat cow will usually have a big calf and a tougher calving with all that pelvic fat. Just make sure all the silage is cleaned up overnight as if any left they will be eating too much and you want plenty silage left over next year if fertiliser is going to be £400a ton. [/QUOTE]
