[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1600462, member: 6897"] "Hot" is really more of a slang word many of us use in discussing feed. Has more to do with the energy content than the crude protein level. There are times cattle need a higher energy feed while at other times a more mellow feed will suffice depending on what your situation is and what you're trying to do with the cattle. A "finisher" type feed is hot....a "grower" feed more mellow. Most dairy rations will be very high in energy as well. When we speak of feeding range cubes these are relatively high in crude protein but reduced energy content. The long toes are the result of acidosis which is often caused by slug feeding and excessive starches (grain) in the ration. [/QUOTE]
