[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 714513, member: 968"] Since you are feeding nursing cows & replacement heifers, you need a litte more protein than a dry cow. I would not buy any fancy mixed feed. Whole shell corn, and maybe some protein pellets mixed to make a 12% ration should be great, if you decide to feed grain suppliment. But,if you can feed good quality hay (at least 12% protein), that is all they need. Limit feeding hay for dry cows has proven to be extremely cost affective. Not sure you should try that with nursing cows. If you feed hay, the hay needs to be put in a feeder so they don't waste all of it. [/QUOTE]
