[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1543106, member: 12607"] There are free/online ration calculators... UofMN has one, we've used it, and CowCulator(recommended by UofKY nutritionist) at one time or another. Both have extensive lists of feedstuffs and their (expected) analyses - and you can add your own custom feedstuffs/mixes; also, they allow you to input cow breed, stage of pregnancy/lactation, BCS, etc. You need your hay tested so that you know what you're starting with... it's sometimes very surprising how bad (and, occasionally good) hay may be - but if you don't test, you don't have a clue... We feed hay and DDG... have a fuel ethanol plant within 15 miles, haul 3-3.5 tons home every couple of weeks, feed with buckets poured into feedbunks made from 55gal plastic drums...varying amounts, depending upon hay analysis (the crap we have this year is sorry as lleh) and stage of lactation/pregnancy.
