[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1841927, member: 42715"] Tubs really work. Have been using them for the past 18 months. First during winter and then during the drought. They are expensive, but so far I have found that, in central Texas, you can get by on winter stockpile and 30% cooked protein tubs and a bit of winter green just fine. And the tubs are convenient. The cows get protein every day without you going out there, and they don’t really need minerals and as many vitamins when they have the tub, as those are added as well. That really helps my operation. But I think I’m going to refine my model a little bit and try to store some round bales in my old barn (plan on buying during years of abundant hay production in my area) for up to three years at a time. If the winter grass doesn’t do well in a given year, I’ll probably put out hay in January and February as long as it’s financially sustainable. [/QUOTE]
