[QUOTE="BH, post: 306797, member: 3006"] Hi Tom, No, I don't have a grinder, otherwise I would. I see how you got 12.7% protein. You used the As fed amounts. I believe to get the real protein amounts, you have to use only the actual Dry Matter amount. I assumed the protein pellet was 100% DM So.... 1 x 1.0= 1 lb protein 2.5 x .86 =2.15 lbs of corn on a DM basis 4.5 x .85 =3.83 lbs of alfalfa on a DM basis 6.2 x .89 =5.5 lbs of grass hay on a DM basis This equals 12.5 lbs of DM I assumed a steer will eat 2.5% of his body weight (500lbs) so 500 x .025= 12.5lbs of DM If you use the DM lbs of each ingredient, you should come up with 13.2% protein. what kind of ration are you feeding? I'm like you, I like to see what everyone else is doing. Brett [/QUOTE]
