why would you want to? all it means is that they are eating higher quality feed than they need (notice i said "need"...).

huh???? Just higher moisture and much more digestible than they are use to.

think: need = minimum requirements

No...that's a survival ration...Think: Raise calf, breed back, maintain and hopefully improve body condition. They'll scour just as quickly on lush spring grass with very little protein as they will with highly fertilized "lush spring grass" testing 25% on a 100% dry matter basis. There is no fiber in it. :idea: :idea:
