[QUOTE="dcara, post: 312797, member: 473"] I use 2:1 meal when necessary like last summer when my pastures were drought burnt and even the hay was poor quality. I brought them up on it slowly though over a few weeks after a neighbor told me he lost two cows from it in 2005. In short, I would say do not provide it free choice to starving or really hungry cattle until after they are used to it. Also make sure they have some type of forage to satisfy the hunger the meal will create or they may just eat more and more meal until the get salt toxicity. [/QUOTE]
