    Distillers grain vs corn

    I used it. I sent it off to be tested, came back 11% protein. Once I figured up the gas and time to haul it, how much “dry” brewers grain actually weighed, I was better off feeding something else.

    What’s everyone using for minerals.

    Purina “wind and rain” free choice minerals. It’s never done me wrong. They take it when needed. When the pastures are poor, they take more. Spring time they don’t use much.

    Cow Down

    Heavy bred cow down but eating and drinking a little day and a half ago (in the evening) Neighbor said it was probably the baby positioned restricting the cow from getting up. I sent pictures to the doc and he had me come by and pick up the 4 of the calcium gel tubes, like the one at TSC but it...

    Heat Stress Relief 107 degree heat

    No, he is big but not fat. I am only feeding hay, just letting him work but the last cow in heat was a week ago. He is darker then the few hereford cows I have.

    Heat Stress Relief 107 degree heat

    107 degree heat, feels like 112. Most of my cows have a little brahman so they make it. My hereford bull is having a hard time. The other day bad salivating, fast heavy breathing, all the signs of heat stress... today he was laying down next to the trough, in the shade, breathing really hard, I...

    Steer ate a plastic grocery bag.

    I know back in the BIG DROUGHT that hit Tx my brother was buying hay that people were baling on the side of the highway. There was trash in it. Never seemed to bother the cattle.

    Jersey bull pot bellied ???

    :lol: :lol: :lol: An 1800 pound jersey bull is a dangerous thing, a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. I had a jersey leave a bucket of cubes just to come at me and my son 100 yards away. 1800 pounds can go through a lot of fence and panels. My son jumped on top of a round bale and I had...

    Jersey bull pot bellied ???

    This is a jersey/brangus cross steer. The calves won't have much beef but this one has plenty of ear and naval to go around. I will get docked at the auction but I didn't have to leave work to pull a calf.

    Jersey bull pot bellied ???

    The first one I ever owned I made the mistake of letting him get over 800 pounds. Almost tore my old trailer apart on the highway going to the auction. He was kicking and ramming the sides like a rodeo bull. Sometimes in the rodeo you will see those darn Jersey cross bulls, I don't care for them...

    Jersey bull pot bellied ???

    I have used jerseys for heifer bulls many times, they all look potbellied to me. A lot of jersey bulls WERE BOTTLE CALVES so it's a good chance he has been this way for a while from malnutrition as a calf. I wouldn't worry too much. DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM. I wouldn't keep one past 14...

    Fermenting Distillers Grain Safe?

    The company I get distillers grain from switched from whole corn to a finely crushed corn. Now the barrels I picked up I can hear bubbling just like a can of soda. There is a smell of alcohol. Is this safe to feed to my cattle or hogs? The stuff before I never had this problem.

    Protein

    10-12% protien hay(haygrazer has been my best luck), cottonseed as long as it is not a breeding bull, brewers grain, They sell the basic breeders cubes here 2o% at $7. $6 for 15% calling cubes. My cows will maintain well on just the haygrazer. Add any of the above and they do better. But I dont...
