[QUOTE="sainty01, post: 278235, member: 319"] I shouldn't lump all forage developed bulls into the same category with those that I see in my area. In areas with higher quality forages I can see how the program works. Thanks Dun. I find it interesting though that several of you who have been adament about the benefits of forage based development don't utilize such programs atleast you don't as I define forage based. In fact under the definition that seems to be floating around, I develop bulls with forage... Msscamp: Thanks for the information about the red folders and watch this topic. The feedtrucks at these operations ARE being used to feed cattle a hot ration. Sure feed trucks aren't a dead give a way but in this example they were. As to your feeding program. I wouldn't define it as a forage program if you also let the bulls have some of that beet pulp. Beet pulp as you know is an incredible feedstuff. Most nutritionist define it in it's own category because of it's unique qualities. Most BP has about 10% Crude Protein, and 18% Crude fiber which puts it inbetween a forage and an Energy Feed. Although most coops and feed producers use it at as an energy source. I wish we had access to it. BTW, where in WY are you located I went to Jr. College in Casper. I totally agree with your comment, "Testing and the proper forage can (and does) provide more than adequate nutrition." Each seedstock producer's definition of "forage/range raised" seems to be different and that was the reason for my original hype comment. Does anyone else ever wonder how much easier these conversations would be if they were done in person. Many times it seems people mostly agree but it takes a long time to get everyone seeing the small details that they differ on. [/QUOTE]
