[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 504"] Just because range cubes are what everyone else feeds, it doesn't mean they are the best. It really depends on what you need to add to the heifers feed, and the cost. If you have decent protien in the hay they are getting, sweet feed will have more energy and actually be better for the heifers. If your protien is very low, you might need the extra protien range cubes provide, but you will lose the energy the sweet feed has. Generally speaking, the cheapest suppliment is corn and soymeal mixed yourself. However some don't want the extra work, some don't want to suppliment the cattle everyday. If you are content with the cost, and the heifers are doing well, keep it up. Jason Trowbridge Southern Angus Farms Alberta Canada [email=trow@attcanada.net]trow@attcanada.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
