[QUOTE="Bez, post: 59595, member: 412"] IMHO - nope. Good hay, some grain, loose mineral - water for the youngsters and snow for the old girls. My girls are outside year round. It is minus 15 C today and the wind is howling, snow is deep. Cows are fat and sassy. When milking in the summer, they get no grain - just good pasture and loose mineral - they stay fat and sassy. Sometimes I think we (the royal "We") give the cows more than they need - if only because we think the cows need it. We never buy additional feed for our animals - that is until we test the quality of the feed they are getting. Test your feed and test your grain. If it is good, there is no need for additives. Cost for testing is minimal - or can be free if you buy the required minerals from the place that does your testing. It is now - more than ever - important for us to be low cost producers - if the cows need this to get by - we say to them - good-bye. Genetics - NOT - extras will make this place survive. Just MHO Regards, Bez [/QUOTE]
