University of Wyoming has a lot of information on the utilization of Snow----- cattle do not normally Utilize snow--- sheep do all the time..... I guess you could get some Texels eh?

well what does the Med diet consist of? i sure hope it isnt mercury infected fish? :tiphat:

Yeah it is quicker therefore probably cheaper but at what cost to your health? Well the feedyard is in trouble ever since the growers decided upon fuel instead of feed. I just think this is a good way to market your beef to the ever misimformed, non-believing consumer. The only thing keeping...

Cattle fed in feed yards have an omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio of 1:20 Free-range, grass-fed beef has been found to have a ratio of less than 1:1 Grassfed beef actually has more omega-3 fats than fish. Why is this important>? "The evolution of the American diet in it current form finds...

Don't give up red -- just base someof your whining on facts instead of hearsay and you will improve your debating skills :tiphat:

No you just go to the feedstuffs board and look up the TDN for instance a Feed value is CP x TDN. This isn't rocket science! Table 1. Nutrient content of various feed grains (NRC, 2008). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Corn...

Yearling Bulls ought to be weighing 900+ So you dont need a 15% ration thats a little too hot and you can burn the papillae off the inner lining of the rumen wall which I have seen a few rookies do in the past. 900 - 1000 lb bulls They need 2.1 TP 15 x .15 x .9 = 2.03 you need a little bit...

blackcowz --need to know what weight your steers are to be able to do a good job with a feed ration, as they increase in weight as you know you must adjust their intake of Protein etc

No not really Rocksprings --- just a lil time in reality--- unlike you in that H3ll hole you live in. Best thing about Rocksprings is Eldorado.But from your post I can see you have much to add... back under your rock---- sparky

Sorry you had the short bus experience-- maybe sometime in your future you can attend a few college courses in Beef Cattle Production even if it is from some stuffed shirt Professor that doesnt own any cows -- but at least it would make ya feel better.

how heavy are your steers? 14% @ 5 lbs = 0.70 x TDN of 0.9 ~ 0.63 Corn @ 9% and 88 % TDN is 0.08 x 5 lbs = 0.4 So you are giving them 1.03 lbs or TP per day in Feed Say they weigh 600 lbs now they will consume about 8 more pounds of grass hay so if it is CBH that would be about 0.5 more lbs...

I realize you are a few fries short of a happy meal with the education being what it is in your area, but you are so ignorant you didn't even know that to keep the rumen active a "ruminant animal" needs at leat 20% of their diet to be in forage--- and since this person probably had hay as most...

yeah well I doubt you can either beat my quality grade or my yeild grade in 14 months I imagine you are putting up QG of Select to maybe Low choice and YG of 0 or 1-- that wont get it done for the educated palate..... and I imagine if your customers ever had some Angus QG High Choice--- Low...

yes it takes too long to benefit from grass fed dependng on the quality of your grazing of course, but really that dexter may be great for small operations where they aren't really in the beef biz-- just a pastime.... thats ok though actually I believe the best grass grazers are the North Devon...

OH IN A BULK BIN OR A GRAVITY FED TRAILER UNDER THE SHELTER TARP IT

SO THEY THINK A LOT OF THEIR FEED OUT IN co? 15 TO 17 PER CWT --i NEED TO GET IN THE FEED BUSINESS OUT THERE! CORN GLUTEN IS A GOOD OPTION 18% CP 90 % TDN DEAD CENTER OF CO MUST BE YOU ARE AROUND LEADVILLE---- OF COURSE PURCHASING FEED IN DEC/JAN AINT THE BEST TIME. ALFALFA IIS GOOD PLUS A LIL...

Devon ---I assume these calves just weaned and I hope they are now weighing at least 450 lbs. I dont know what kind of cattle you have but an avg cow weighing in at 1200 should at least be able to wean a heifer calf at 450#. That being said, normally you want to grow out a heifer where she will...

another sod buster remark

I find it intersesting that you say you are paying for her feed-- when you dont even know that Maplegal is a gal ... Gonna have to call BS on ya Tex You are still off Topic but thats ok -- evidently you didnt read the first Post or even who made it whether they were male or female --but hey you...

Well Tex -- all different weight classes and differing life stages need to be fed separately-- you dont feed 500 lb calves in the same pen as 1000 lb calves -- but go ahead and watch the action and see which cattle are getting the feed and which ones are standing off to one side ---getting none...
