compensatory growth

Those interested in MIG/rotational cattle production may find this article interesting, particularly if you are experiencing drought or occasional forage shortage.

Compensatory Gain.....

Thanks for info Agman. Take particular note that this strategy is destructive to animals under 5 months of age. Also, the feed restriction must never get down to where brood cows start to abort their calves!
Many cattleman in Northern areas with severe winter weather have been using this method for years --By Default and without their understanding it.
