[QUOTE="krenwic, post: 443402, member: 1158"] "commodities" such as dried distillers grains, cotton seed, citrus pulp, corn gluten pellets, etc. can be used solely by themselves or mixed to create feed for your heifers, cows, etc. Often times, these more "consistent" products can be fed for almost the same price as rolled hay. Ex) If hay in your area is costing $50/roll or roughly $100/ton, you can feed these "commodities" for $100-$130/ton. What does this all mean? The feed mixture will be double and perhaps triple in protein as compared to the best hay you can feed which runs 8-12% in protein. So you can feed a 20% supplement feed for pennies on the dollar more than hay. However, this obviously would involve more labor and the facilities to be able to feed these products. [/QUOTE]
