[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1828838, member: 39122"] I'd feed them at least a 12% protein feed at 5lbs/day each and free choice hay through the winter to keep them growing, when grass comes on let them graze and maybe keep feeding them 5lbs/ day and when the summer slump hit I would increase to 10lbs/day then 15 and then either go to full feed and hay or if you don't mind growing a little slower and theres still grass keep at 15 lbs/ day each until they have a good finish which should be around mid November next year. It all depends on how fast you want them to grow and what you want as a n end result. I've fed some this way with good results and I've had some that I fed a little through the winter to keep growing then full grass through spring and summer then started slowly introducing feed in August and on full feed by mid September and still ready to process by mid November- early December.
