[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1601285, member: 968"] As mentioned - cows (mature) only need grass or hay - and a good mineral program. You can tell if the cow is getting enough protein (which most grass and most hay is high enough) - just LOOK at their manure. If it is hard turds like a horse, they are definitely needing more protein. If it is shooting out the back end like water - too much protein. Cattle's manure tells you a lot about your animals. Ideal is you want it to slightly "stack up". Sort of soft enough to spread out, but firm enough to build up a pile, not splatter all over. [/QUOTE]
