Help figure roughly what I need feed
Thin cows of different weights, age and etc
Let's say 1200# cows average
If I want a them to gain 2.5#'s a day
I need roughly 5 Mcal per day
Grass/hay at .52 nem and .29 neg
Cottonseed at 1.07 nem and .75 neg
So based on those numbers
They need about 30#'s of grass or hay
The max recommended cottonseed is 7#'s
I'm afraid the grass/hay may not meet those standards but I'm at the max I can safely feed cottonseed so feel I need another ingredient
I don't have access to corn by products
Would whole corn be an option ?
If so how would I adjust the cottonseed and corn for 2.5#'s of gain a day ?
