[QUOTE="TerraceRidge, post: 1206278, member: 21599"] Hi, everyone! I do a lot of reading on these forums, but I don't post very much. I have a question about feed. I have a chance to buy some feed from a farmer about an hour away from me who mills his own feed (I don't have any feed mills close by). His feed consists of ground corn, oats, and cottonseed, with some molasses, calcium, and other minerals mixed in. He says the protein should be at least 16-18 percent. He is charging $30 per 55 gallon drum, or $12 per hundred pound sack, and I have to supply the containers either way. He says that three sacks fill up a drum. I am thinking, however, that a sack of this feed won't weigh a full hundred pounds. I would like to use this feed to supplement some calves and yearlings that I am raising to put the freezer. I am looking at feeding maybe 6 pounds per head per day plus free choice hay to my 900 pound animals to get some extra gain. Does this feed sound good, and does it seem like a reasonable deal to you all? [/QUOTE]
