At Havre, cows wintered on 7 to 9 pounds green alfalfa and 10 pounds straw per cow per day, with calving near. Studies from Montana State College and Miles City examine stilbestrol implants, phosphorus and vitamin A supplements, showing optimal gains at 18–24 mg implants and mixed supplements with modest costs.
