[QUOTE="Bobg, post: 278689, member: 2132"] I feed either barley or wheat depending on what I can get the cheapest. I normally can get up to a ton of either from WSU for nothing. All the farmers in my area haul all their barley to the grain terminals on the Snake River, I don't have a way to handle all the I use in a year. I occationally will buy a little corn, but it's too expensive in eastern WA. A lot of the hay that I feed is really blue grass straw and so I feed a little grain and peas to get the protein level where I want it. I also buy wheat, barley and peas from the certified seed program at WSU, they bag is for me which allows me to handle a lot more grain at one time and I get it at market price. My Longhorn cows and crossbred calves can handle a lot rougher feed than the English breed cows, so I can get by pretty expensively for winter feed. Here's few article that you can read, I haven't read through them, but you can do a Google search on feeding cattle peas and come up with quite a few of them.
