[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 8175191, member: 70166"] On a suckled calf it would pay yes but I don't sell mine till I've finished them so doesn't matter so much. They bloom once you turn them out I've had calves do over 2kg a day through May and June till mid July. Try and get them out grazing a bit in March it soon improves tthem. Will have red clover silage for them this winter as well that should help too. I was just thinking how much of a job it would be to split the cows with steer calves from the ones with heifer calves and just creep the steers. Would properly mess up my grazing rotations though. Think I'll just keep breeding for more milk and get rid of the later calving cows it's always the later born ones that look poorest. [/QUOTE]
