[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1295542, member: 24538"] 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 ? [/QUOTE]
