Again, Thanks everyone!

Thank you.

I buy 380lb heifers in the late winter and sell in the late fall. I want to put as much weight on them as possible. Have good pasture and feed 18% Purina pellets at .5% of body weight. Would adding the 30% block help at all or could it be a replacement of the Stocker/Grower?

I have a friend who bought enough thins in March for a truckload. Turned out to pasture and mineral. He will sell before the Fourth of July. He has contacted an auto buyer to look at them. If auto buyer buys the lot then they will not have to go through a sale. Will post here how he does.

Thanks

I bought 15 375lb average weight heifers at several sales. I want to enhance weight gain. I am using the 14% Purina stocker Grower. Considering I have good grass how many lbs would you use of 14% for 5,240lb of stock as a supplement. Thank you very much.

I have been buying heifers in the spring and selling in the fall for several years. There are not a lot of cattlemen around me so I thought I would pose this question. I want to make a concerted effort this year to put as many pounds on them as possible. They of course have been wormed. The...

I have been using Country Acres Ranch Hand 14 for my 14 month heifers. Using three lbs. of this with three lbs. of rice brand which is very cheep where I live. Also good baled hay. Wanting to breed these in about two months. In looking at Purina 4-square Stocker/Grower 14 it has 2.50% fat vs...

In asking around I get lots of opinions. In addition to the winter pasture and hay bales brought to the pasture for feed I need a good ration. I have been feeding 2lb. Per cow of rice brand per day. Rice brand is easy to get here. What do you think. Enough? More? Add something to it? I...

I have a supply of low priced rice brand I am feeding as a supplement to the pasture grass which has basically stopped growing because of the fall. How much do you think I should feed? I' m feeding about one pound per head every other day. My pasture still has plenty of grass, just starting...
