West Central Illinois | On cool season grass pasture back when i first started i was buying 3-4 weight heifers in the winter starting them on hay and a little grain then eventually no grain by grazing season. Didn't do any rotational grazing back then or nothing but always seemed to get around 1-1.1 lb. per gain it seemed like on that. Eventually got a little smarter to figure out there was a balance of how much to supplement. I then was supplementing around 1% of their bodyweight of distillers which kept them still green enough of condition but actually got some decent gain on them usually around 1.75 lb/day gain doing that. These were all put together type calves nothing fancy. Better quality cattle i know would have done better | |
