[QUOTE="jedstivers, post: 807741, member: 8873"] Ok if y'all can fallow my rambling. This is just toughts for next year. We are grazing stockers on wheat, cotton stalks an corn stalks. They are on rate of gain so not much room to spend much. I know I could feed more if I owned them but right now I prefer to let someone else risk the money, I risk enough all summer I hate to do it in the winter too. Feed an price: Gin trash (very cheep) Corn stalk bales baled on the farm Oat baleage on farm ( prol plant rye next year) Might have some wheat straw bales Whole cotton seed 200-250 ton Rice bran 140-160 ton DDG 180-200 ton Soy hulls 170-180 ton Corn gluten pellets 180-200 ton Anyway thinking about all this an either buying a grinder to handle it an make some kind of mix or even something as simple as just rolling hay off the front end of the tractor an have a bin on the back where I could drop piles of one of those feeds right on the hay. Therefore no bunks to buy an clean. Another thing is they love the corn stalks but leave a lot of the big stalks so maybe just a hay grinder an mix the baleage an cornstalks togather but not have the expense of the tub grinder/mixer. Almost forgot, they have plenty of ptotein with the wheat an left over cotton. [/QUOTE]
