Alfalfa cows weighed slightly more calved earlier but suffered higher calf losses yet heavier weaned calves. coastal hay cows showed higher calf production as percent of cow weight. Consumption of bonemeal and salt favored coastal fed cows. Wintering 110 days on 15 18 pounds daily coastal hay can avoid added concentrates on short pastures. trials began at East Texas Pasture Station, Lufkin.
