Corn Gluten Pellets or Alfalfa Hay

[mnmtranching]

What would you do to supplement cows Wintering on corn silage?

I can get corn gluten for $140 per ton. Good alfalfa hay for $110.

I'ld go with the CG, it would be easier to encorporate into the silage and it also had higher protein then most alfalfa

Where does the $140 dollar corn gluten come from? ADM Marshall had high sulphur content the last time I tried it be carefull with that.

Somm.....at the level you feed urea you need a high sulfur feed. You are aware of the needed NPN/urea ration I assume?????
