    what to feed pedigree weanlings...angus cattle over the winter..
    heifer weanlings (3)will be indoors all going well, slats! getting grass silage! what else would u give them+how much?will be penned with 2 yearling heifers..

    then am go to winter the bull weanling(3)outdoors...on aftergrass,that a 2nd cut of round bales came off,2 weeks ago--and got nitrogen last week...is coming along nicely-willbe a good crop of grass,come end of October--when i plan to wean,all going well.there all march/april calves!have about 1+ mths grass ahead...they will prob be strip graze-ADVICE THAT? field is about 3 acres just..prob offer round bale silage also..what would u feed them..as plan to have them ready for pedigree sales next may/june!!

    fed flake maize+beef nuts last yr to the bulls(5lb a day),they were indoors--didn't do great,but silage was poor!
    heifers were sold...

    debating about giving the heifers mayb a mixture of flake maize/barley..mayb only 2lb each..
    and the bulls flake maize/barley/beef nuts-mayb 3+lb each..
    think by silage is better quailty tis year....better be!!
    small operation--so want to keep costs down!
    Any advice--willing to listen....
