Introducing the herd back into green pastures

Whats the best way to do this, and not have anyone get sick, The kids on there sides are about 2 months old. Do you recommend feeding them, and let them fill up on hay and grain, then turn them out for an hour or so? Then slowly lengthen the time they have out there.

Thanks
Adam

i think the est way would be to feed them in the morning and after they filled up with hay, you can let them out.

Yes, I'd feed them first and then let them out for a few days, also, I make sure that they have a little tub of baking soda avaliable when they are on pasture, they help themselves to it and I have never had anyone get sick, even on wet pasture.
