What kind of ratio are yall feeding? Or have yall heard of feeding? I heard 1-3 the other day and I wasn't sure if that would do any good.
Im mixing 1-1 right now, they don't eat that much everday. Even when I mixed 2-1 they didn't hit 7-8lbs. What do you use as a limiter and how is salt not cost effective?Angus Cowman":3etk8mo4 said:around here most of the feed mills have a 20/20 or a 20/30 salt mix that is 20% protein and 20% salt or 20% potein and 30%salt I don't use them because I don't like salt as a feed limiter and it isn't cost effective
If needing protein the lick tubs or blocks are cheaper in comparison on the ctnseed salt mix consumption they can hit 7-8lbs per day

yeah I know and I tried some a few yrs ago and like I said before the consumption and the cost were prohibitive I figured I could feed 4lbs of 20% cubes cheaper and get bettr results so I quit using them and also didn't like that cows spent alot of time at the waterTexasBred":1cozzf8i said:Angus I've seen some of these mixes that definitely had a lot of other products in them besides straight cottonseed meal and salt. Really cheapens them up and are definitely not worth what you have to pay for them.
3/1 are you talking meal/salt? If so, if 1/1 is 20 but then 3/1 should be more?...the meal is 40% by itself and I mix the salt myself.TexasBred":1j5jecu4 said:CowpokeJ":1j5jecu4 said:Im mixing 1-1 right now, they don't eat that much everday.

1-1 will give you a 20% crude protein mix...3-1 will make almost a 14% mix. Consumption should run 4-5 lbs. per head per day with the 3/1....a little less for 2/1. If you're mixing it on the farm be sure and make some mineral available at all times. As for cost, on mixes like this salt actually is effective unless you can come up with another limiter that cost less.
I'm working on it. Whole is supposed to have 20% fat as well.jedstivers":2qk04iiv said:Can you get whole cottonseed? If you can they are good and don't have to be mixed, I paid $230 ton last week and a 5 gallon bucket weighs 16 lbs.
