What's your consumption & how big of tub, 200#? Definitely reasonable.

Faster horses, yes lots of those around in people's trees. Those came out before my time, but dad said the stuff that was bitter they wouldn't eat. They put DDG in their for reasons other than filler. I think the boxes would have worked, but some of the boxes set up and got hard because to hey...

I'd caution on poisoning dead animals to o get the coyotes. Probably 15-20 years ago a group of neighbors would put antifreeze in a critter, and leave them out for the yotes to find. Well the yotes found them. Some bald eagles also found them. Game and parks investigated and decided to fine...

Wondered if you'd comment Texas. Ya, I used a newer version of biomoss in the tubs last year. Kinda potato/patato

Ya, a ridley or vitalyx is hard to beat. Not sure who manufactures this tub. I think it's a loomix company. Ya, I'm a believer in mineral. Just stating that that if it's in the, available, and mixed at a proper rate to coincide with intake it wouldn't be all bad. I'd probably still have...

Kinda like the counterpoint sales pitch against a riomax tub is there's not enough room to formulate it with everything garunteed in the label.

Agreed. Guy said I could find information/feed tag on the internet about them. Ignitor is the brand name. Found some tubs, but nothing with the amaferm in them. So IDK if it's his own blend or what. He sells bulls etc, so I'd think he wouldn't go cheap on that part. Got to keep the tubs...

I'll test hay. Hay test can vary by how accurate your samples are, but it's better than a shot in the dark. Feed man says stalks 5-6% protein. Obviously that will depend on how corn the combine didn't get. General concensus around here is you can get away with some urea provided there's an...

Well I've whiteled down my cornstalk supplement choices. One tub is a 30% with 17% urea/npn. I'm not real crazy about that much urea as I can buy the 30-10 I normally use for the same money, plus a couple of other advantages. The 30-17 tub supposedly has a complete mineral package with aviala...

A lot of distillers is used.... modified, dry, etc. I've used it in the past. They call it a co-product instead of a byproduct and price it accordingly. With $5-6 corn it's not cheap either. Same with alfalfa. Price per pound of protein might change things. Some of the issue is they will...

Well I know option vary by region and there people on here from the Mexican border up into Canada. Options vary by region. I also know unless your to dam honest of a salesman, every salesman thinks their product is the best! With that being said Northern Nebraska had had our turn with drought...

Ya, we all know an auction is supposed to be an auction. Guess if I sell something at a consignment auction I put a reserve on it. I don't have a bid being pulled out if its dirt cheap or to get a bid....yes theres a fine line there. You run me after the price gets up there a ways, thats a...

Molasses or pressed? How long have they sat around?

I'm not going to argue,it's not worth my time. I used mix 30 in once. Id say your right as far as the as fed part. All I'm saying is sometimes is by the time you figure you it cost per pound of protein on a dry matter basis the ingredient that's dryer is actually cheaper because you can use...

I'm well aware of why we need to feed protein.....be it tubs, cake/cubs, grain, silage, etc. All of these sources of protein have a certain percentage of moisture. Which hay, cubes, tubs are dry enough it's kinda pointless to figure. The point of my comment is you need to take the percentage...
