Ours in cubicles too. But we house them as they calve. Usually inside about a week after calving. Start calving the cows on Oct 1st.
Do you put sawdust or anything in the cubicles?

The breeding bulls have a bit of brewers grains because some micro brewery brings them to us for nothing.
That is it really, cows are too fat most of the time, they are bedded on straw which they eat quite a lot of.
