Hang in there things can change fast. I am in west tennessee and dealing with the same problems. Can you run them in a stalk field? Mine are in one now. I am feeding soy hull pellets too. I have fed them for several years and fed them one winter to cows to stretch hay. I fed about 3 pounds per...
that is not as high as I thought it would be. I paid 19.60 per bag for the last ton I bought of Furst McNess mineral. It is good mineral and i dont mind paying for good mineral. Without it I would be in trouble.

Yes I creep feed calves on them and never have a problem. I also wean my calves and feed them about 8 pounds per head per day with fee choice hay through the winter. For me there is no better feed. I know alot of people that do the same thing and it works well. On the calves that are weaned I...
