[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1484909, member: 24694"] If you would I'd like you to expand on that some TB. I've been trying to figure out an easy way to know my feed cost and the value from the trucking to the pounds gain at the end feeding stockers. And dry matter and TDN seem to work hand in hand. A ton of ground corn and cotton seed mix is roughly 90% dry matter = 1800lbs. And at 90%TDN, that equates to 1620 lbs of actual feed? A ton of Brewers grain is 25% dry matter = 500 lbs. And at 70% TDN = 350 lbs of actual feed? Assuming that protein, fats and starches are comparable, you'd need to feed 5 tons Brewers grain to equal 1 ton of corn and cotton seed? What am I missing?
