[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 665039, member: 6897"] Very good link. Most understand protein to some extent but give very little thought to energy levels in various feeds for cattle in an operation whether for maintenance, gain and/or lactation all of which can effect the bottom line of any operation by way of low body condtion, low conception rates, low weaning weights and/or all of the above. Most feeds purchased in a bag won't have the information available and the man at the feed store won't have a clue what you're talking about but some "at home" study can bring you a working knowledge or call a feed company nutritionist and see if he will give you some general information. It shouldn't be a secret. [/QUOTE]
