[QUOTE="John SD, post: 822443, member: 14713"] 50/50 is generally what my feed guy gets delivered in. Sometimes 60/40. I don't know how much it currently costs since I have not purchased any since last fall but well over $200/ton. The 50/50 mix is supposed to be around 16% protein. I like the physical qualites of the mix to feed in bunks with 5 gal buckets. Cracked corn alone is quite dusty. DDG alone blows around in the wind. The oil content of the DDG helps keep the dust of the cracked corn down while the cracked corn gives the DDG some needed body to stay put in the feed bunk. My range cows generally don't get fed anything but hay and salt and mineral. I have made some home brew lick tubs for them with the cracked corn/DDG and used salt and/or mineral as a limiter. I might do that soon this spring and add some mag oxide to prevent grass tetany. I have found that a little MO2 goes a long way. [/QUOTE]
