Really hope they all make it till spring. They look pretty heathly, so with the food you are giving them they might stand a chance.
They like corn but it doesn't do much for them nutritionally. We feed corn but we also feed alfalfa hay during the hard part of the winter.....and some protein feed. The problem with the hay is the danged elk come through and absolutely demolish the hay in no time! I've seen a cow and calf elk eat a whole bale at one sitting.
With all the moisture this winter, we just need springtime to set in and get them some new growth....especially browse!
