[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 645135, member: 6198"] from talking to the nutrtionist poop patties can give you insight into the cows nutrtion. a normal patty should not mound it's a patty. a patty that is consistent throughout the herd that is like ...hmm say a pile, mouned is consistent with a high fibre diet. We had poor hay quality. The feed tests came back where the TDN and fibre were relatively close and not great protien especially for the cold winter we had. From what the people on this forum and the nutrtionist said, that equates cereal straw. Basically a filler. So we had to add barley to the ration in hopes of putting some pounds and fat on the cows and give them energy to get through the nasty winter. [/QUOTE]
