[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 807781, member: 391"] Gin trash and corn stalks are GREAT for cows. using them heavily trying to put gain on calves can bite you in the butt. Sometimes its cheaper in the long run to use more expensive ingredients and just enough trash or stalks to give them some long fiber. What you do really depends on how much you are making /lb of gain. you need come under that with your cost/lb gain and some more to cover yardage costs. And if they have a minimal gain requirement that you have to meet, you need to make sure you go over that. I've seen alot of contract grazing/feeding-- they LOVE to find a newbie. They won't feed enough to get much if any gain- so their profit is $0(if they are lucky) and the owner gets frame and compensatory gain to cash in on. [/QUOTE]
