[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 618856, member: 1682"] A suggestion, what about Central Grain in Winnipeg? [url=http://www.centralgrain.com/products.html]http://www.centralgrain.com/products.html[/url] I am not sure what the minimum tonnage is for them to deliver, but I am thinking 6-8 ton. Not sure why you need rumensin and minerals in the ration for cows. Feedrite should give a quote without it. I would suggest you have to really start crunching your numbers on this. We are paying $368.50 a tonne for our corn/oats/pellet ration, and is being fed out at a rate of 25 cents/head/day on our yearlings and keeping them in good shape, not fat. A solution might be to market the calves early, but do the numbers first. Our yearlings are eating about 24 lbs/head/day of mixed hay, while the dry spring cows are eating about 33 lbs/head/day. Figure out your costs per pound (or /head/day) on everything and then starting thinking of scenarios and play the numbers game with them. Whatever works best is what you go with. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
