[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1828322, member: 39122"] I bought 2 cow/calf pairs last night at the sell, they’re both a little thin, one thinner than the other but bought at a good price. Part of a heard dispersal that were mostly thin cows. I’m trying to get them back in condition fairly quick with hopes of breeding back for fall calves again. I’m keeping a round roll of decent hay with them and started feeding them 10 lbs of grain between them a day. Feed is same as I feed my feeders, 16% protein, 9% fat. I have access to out of date milk including chocolate milk, would it be of any advantage to mix some of the milk with the feed to get them to gain quick and cheaper? Feed is powdery so will soak up the milk easily. Any other suggestions to get them back in shape quickly? I wormed them as soon as I unloaded them. [/QUOTE]
