[QUOTE="regolith, post: 638221, member: 9267"] cattleman25: have you figured out how much energy per cow you are feeding in that ration, plus the grass or whatever else they are getting? (I use MJ/ME per kgDM which is all metric units) I tried working it out. It looked very bad. Since you say the cows are fat and healthy... I'd rather think my calculations were wrong. The big issue was the alfalfa, which in my feed table has an ME of 8 (hay) or 9.5 (silage) making it a very low energy, bulky feed that will restrict intake of higher energy feeds. But TMRs and alfalfa are way out of my experience. [/QUOTE]
