Cow Calf Feeding?

[GADAWG79]

Whats everyone feeding to their herds of cow calf this winter? Or supplementing with?

 

[EasTex]

QLF liquid feed and a bucket of cubes and corn on the weekend. Free choice Vitaferm mineral that they never eat, loose salt, and a mineral block.

 

[TCRanch]

Primarily brome, supplementing with 20% cubes, minerals. Occasionally a 30% tub but this winter hasn't been brutal enough to justify the expense.

Mine is still on stockpiled fescue.

 

[SBMF 2015]

Corn silage, rye/haylage, wet gluten, Purina cow balancer pellet with their mineral built in. All in a TMR ration.

Native grass hay, if they can't hack it on that down the road they go.

 

[Brute 23]

Whole cottonseed, molasses, a light ration of hay depending on the conditions, all you can eat vitaferm mineral and salt.

Good hay and always a quality mineral.

 

[Dave]

Grass hay that came off the same field they are in. They are getting just over 30 pounds a day. I could use a few more cows out there to clean it up better. Loose minerals and a block of salt. River water and fresh air.

 

[Chuckie]

Feeding some 16% dairy ration with Rumensin, not so heavy, with Bermuda round bales, and Tennessee Farmers Co-op Ultimate Mineral #96613 Weaned cattle on pasture.
Two very young calves weaned, that I keep the Dairy ration in front of at all times.

Stockpiled broomsedge with juniper garnish seasoned with mineral block and pond water with just a hint of red clay.

Thanks for replies. Trying to figure a better way to get the herd thru winter. Been doing it with just hay and purina wind rain mineral, and purina tubs but would like to do it cheaper.
