[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1092495, member: 6897"] Yep...in the old days the oil mill would simply press the cottonseed meal into a slab about an inch thick and two foot long. You could throw it in a trough and let the cattle nibble on it. Pure 41% cottonseed meal. Latter companies made them into "cubes" which were actually square and 2-3 inches long. Most have sense gone to the round "cube". Most range cubes are now 20% crude protein, contain some cottonseed meal but will also have grain by-products in it such as wheat midds, rice bran, corn gluten feed as well as sometimes some roughage products. But the old name of "cake" has carried forward even for the breeder cubes. Some feed companies also will make what they often call a "Cattle Caller Cube" which will be 12-14% protein. [/QUOTE]
