[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1806565, member: 42820"] Thanks, they are eating cotton seed now with the moms. I mix 6 buckets (5gal) , each bucket holds 15-16 pounds of cotton seed. With this I mix 50 pounds of 15% cow feed . This makes a total of Apx 94 cotton seed and 60 pounds cow feed or a total of 144 pounds feed to 12 grown (cows-1bull) or about 12 pounds for each cow. They get pasture grass and minerals, salt and sulphur blocks. I feed the cotton mix about 3-3 times a week. We have had such cold nights and some cool days that the grass isn’t growing fast. I know I’m overstocked with 12 grown cows and 8 calves on about 18-30 acres. I’m working on selling my goat operation which will free up about 2 more acres of heavy grass pastures. I could move a couple of cow calf pairs over to those pastures. I am trying to hold on to my cows if possible. [/QUOTE]
