Has anyone made their own cattle feed?
If so, what did you grow and how did you do it?

Add a mineral, vitamin mix. Usually 3 ton a week.

I know no one here would do anything like this, I'm just saying.

I wonder how you could know that?
Coyote most big operators will mix their own feed but they have commodity barns, buy ingredients by the semi load and use mixer wagons. It can be done on a small scale but really don't know that their would be any real benefit to it unless you kept it very simple. Don't know what you're planning on feeding but just buy you a good high quality commercial feed and go with it. Cattle feeds in general are not all that great but you can go extra lable and feed a high quality horse or swine feed and get excellent results because they normally won't contain any junk ingredients nor anything that would be harmful to a cow.coyotefur":330rsuu2 said:Has anyone made their own cattle feed?

Probably telling us about what a friend did. A crying shame they couldn't give him a truck load of biscuits.

Ive never used pellet of any kind because my grinder never emptys completly and they might mold inside and mix with my new feed the next time. Just whats been working for me.

You should really call me when you're gonna try something like this. I would have payed good money to see this. And would have probably helped you invent an even more extensive vocabulary than the one you created while helping you remove this oversized peanut butter ball treat! Definitely
