[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 757107, member: 2905"] Thanks to all for your input. Normally grass or hay is my fiber source. However due to this crazy weather am concerned about the availability of grass and hay later this year. Had ryegrass hay priced to me at $65/roll. Had some cs hulls priced at $115 ton a few weeks ago. At these prices, the cs hulls are a competitive fiber source. Am sure they will get higher in the fall. Just trying to have a plan B in place if needed. TB, that is the info I needed as the lower level of cs hulls is the most cost effective, but wanted to be sure 10% hulls would be satisfactory. According to the OSU calculator 10% cs hulls would give an eNDF of 38.32 which would more than meet the criteria in the linked MSU flyer. I do not have the capability to mix silage or cotton burrs on the farm. All mixing is done by my feed supplier and cs hulls are the fiber source he has. Grass and hay are normally fed free choice and the cgf/sh are limit fed daily with the amount determined by grass condition and economics. If necessary, will probably include cs hulls in my mix and by getting ahead of the curve can increase my supplemental feeding level to stretch my grass/hay supply. Thanks again for everyone help.
