[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1448528, member: 2905"] Google "cowculator" then download the spreadsheet and instructions. This is a ration calculator spreadsheet for beef cows. It has standardized feed analysis values for many different feed ingredients. Use spreadsheet to run various supplement mixes to use with the stalk bales until you find a combo that will keep your cows in good nutrition. It has options for calculating for both dry and lactating cows. May take a few hours of running different supplement mixes to find one that works best for your situation. For me this has been a very valuable tool for figuring out the most economical way to winter feed cows using cotton gin trash as my majority ingredient. FWIW Most corn stalks probably have slightly more energy and less protein than the gin trash. Maybe use some corn or soy hulls for energy and ddg or gluten for protein. A lactating cow will need quite a bit of both protein and energy supplement to maintain body condition and rebreed eating stalk bales. [/QUOTE]
