[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 721192, member: 6897"] Sorry about that "Mrs" Clavin. Guess I just figured you for another of the "old coots". My apologies for not knowing you were a lady. Welcome also.....sounds like you're doing good with the feed so I wouldn't change anything.....I do hate to see folks feed 15-16% crude fiber especially when they have good inexpensive fiber available from hay and/or grazing. As for vitamins, cattle will "manufacture vitamin D" from sunglight but other vitamins have to be supplemented. Some minerals are also naturally occuring in feedstuffs, but sometimes also need supplementation. Double check that "Vitaferm" mix and see if it doesn't also contain a substantial amount of vitamins. By the way, Vitaferm makes good products. As for the tubs, they really should be necessary but that's up to you. I too would stick with the natural protein "by choice". Best Wishes. [/QUOTE]
