Please don't. You'll have a world of problems. Some corn is good but cattle need roughage good or bad and the bad can be supplemented with some protein.bball":2x8l8dtp said:mncowboy":2x8l8dtp said:Gets below $3, it might be cheaper to feed corn than hay?

Yessir mixed into a balance ration it may be a great year for feeding corn.bball":2o24p222 said:TexasBred":2o24p222 said:Please don't. You'll have a world of problems.

I hear you TB. Wasn't thinking exclusively, but part of a balanced ration. If prices hold, it will be cheap enough to do that, which hasn't happened for a while here. Hard to believe corn will be as cheap or cheaper than some of its byproducts... I was thinking maybe 5-6 lbs corn a day with some decent hay, or some corn stalk bales and ddg pellets. Corn goes any lower and it will be cheaper than the pellets.
TB, I will also post that mineral tag on the other link for you to check out.

What do you consider reasonable for hay pricing?
