[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 871503, member: 6897"] Go to the Co-op or whoever actually manufactures the feed. Ask them to show the formulation. Look for something in the 11% range, 4-5% fat and no less than 50% corn in the mix. Adding200-250 lbs. of cottonseed hulls to the mix would help maintain rumen function. Basically you'll end up with something similar to a show finisher feed. Also try to get a "meal" or loose type feed rather than a pellet. You have no idea what can be in a pellet. It won't be the cheapest feed in the house but will give you the most bang for you buck. [/QUOTE]
