[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1835694, member: 8359"] Well...4 bags of cubes 50 lbs...200lbs is $47.12, corn bale 1,000lbs is $40. [B]BUT WAIT....Now take into consideration[/B] grain is two times dense so that 200lbs of cubes is like 400lbs of forage...cattle dont waste cubes. That $40. corn bale...probably 35% is wasted (fertilizer). [B]So i get basically 400lbs of cattle cube/forage for $47.12, and i get 650lbs of corn hay eatable that costs me $61.53.[/B] Hope you can see my math, what i'm doing. I have better control of cattle cubes when i go to purchase them...store always open...with the hay producer...he's not open but for three days a week and his prices are higher during cutting-processing $50./bale. I do know what you're saying...cattleman tell me the same thing...hay is cheaper than cattle cubes...but is it really? I just see a wash at best...either way the costs will be the same....and I like the convenience of cattle cubes and whole corn over supplemental hay. [/QUOTE]
