Dun, I called the representive in the Tennessee/Kentucky area on Mix30.
I am sure what I am going to write, you already know, but maybe you can add more info.
The closest place at this time I purchase it is in Murray, Kentucky. That isn't so bad since it will be about an hour drive. They sell it at the Murray, Ky Co-op. The Co-op's here have such a large margin of profit on the liquid molasses with urea, that they don't add another line.
Mr. England told me that the main ingredients are corn oil and corn syrup. He also said it had gluten included. He said that he thought the oil would act like a laxative once the cattle started eating it, and pass everything out quickly. It did opposite of what he thought. The cows laid around more and chewed their cud since it slowed down the digestion process, and the cows were able to utilize the grass and hay better. He also thought it would make them gain weight and retain a high body fat since it has a content of 10% fat. He said that it actually firmed up the cows.
Another thing he is found out, the cattle have less flies when he feeds it. They don't know why this is so, but he thinks it is because of the oil content in the pile, and the flies do not like the Mix30 at all.
Mr. England said the company put a cow calf pair in with the Mix30, and on average, they consumed 1 1/2 lbs a day. When the pasture is good in the summer, and when the hay is good in the winter, they consume a lot less also. The most they consumed on cold days with lower quality hay, they could consume up to 9 pounds a day.
When asking about how to haul it, he will sell you what ever you want if you come pick it up. They will drive out to your farm if it is close. If you come pick it up, have a good container. We have access to the wire container boxes that have a large carton inside. You can connect a hose to the large carton and let it drain into the trough.
Co-op in Murray sells it for $78.63 per 100 gallons.
I will go pick up a batch to do an experiment on the cattle. I will try it on some of the older cows and see how they do. These older cows have been spitting calves out for a long time and never miss a lick. Thanks for the information Dun!
