[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 145046, member: 102"] We have some bulls that we are testing on the Accuration mix. We have them on an 80/20 mix (80% corn, 20% accuration) and I am pleased with the results so far. I was afraid they were going to put on too much fat, but no problems so far. It isn't cheap, however. On average the bulls (spring calves) are gaining 4 lbs per day at a conversion of roughly 6/1. At a cost of $0.093/lb for the feed (includes delivery), that translates to roughly $0.56 per pound of gain. We are also feeding out some heifers for replacements. They are on 60/40 accuration, which is running around $0.12/lb including delivery. They are gaining at about 2.5-3 lbs/day, which is a little higher rog than I would like to see. They are not getting real fat, but some days they look a little more pudgy than I would like. Both groups are on good mixed grass hay and mineral. Don't know if it would work for you, he!!, I don't even know if it works for me yet, but thems the facts so far. Lee [/QUOTE]
