[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 720903, member: 13613"] I prefer High fiber feed as it's cheaper but I am also able to utilize feeding hay with it. I also don't have to worry about founder from overeating. Another plus - I can feed it to every age on the farm. Bulls are raised on it so they don't fall apart when buyers turn them out to pasture - a few complained about the bulls they have bought from others in the past. I've had that happen to - nobody told me they had to be slowly changed to high fiber or their stomach bacteria couldn't use it properly. This saves me a whole lot of headaches. Formula we use: 2900 lbs corn gluten 2250 lbs cracked corn 750 lbs whole oats 2900 lbs soyhulls 200 lbs wet molasses - energy and dust control 100 lbs diamond yeast 100 lbs limestone ------ 9200 lbs feed cost = $713.13 plus delivery of $82.50 What do you feed?
