[QUOTE="simme, post: 1652966, member: 40418"] [U]I am responding with very little knowledge. Use at your risk.[/U] (Might should be included as a preface to other posts. LOL) All mixes that you have listed have 40 to 50% grass hay and you mention "getting premixed". Will the hay be premixed? ground? Not sure what you would get with just mixing those ingredients with unground hay - something hard (impossible?) to handle and hard to feed and tend to separate - I would think. Can you find someone that will mix that with hay or will grind the hay and mix it? Will you grind and mix it yourself? Why not feed the hay separately? Several places around here that mix feed ingredients and sell some variety of mixes - none of which contain hay as far as I know. I think they make use of ingredients available at the time and make adjustments to the mix based on the cost of the ingredients. I am currently feeding a commodity feed with soy hulls, corn gluten pellets, cracked corn, peanut hull pellets, dried distillers grain, cottonseed hulls, soybean meal and molasses. No idea of the proportions or TDN. On pasture and will feed free choice hay soon as the grazing runs short. [/QUOTE]
