somn... :stop: UNLESS that urea level is in liquid feed or in a blender pellet to be mixed with corn etc. to dilute it tremendously that is a toxic level. That's 150 pounds of pure urea per ton of finished feed. Even if you feed as little as 6 lbs. of complete feed per day that calf gets over 7 oz. of pure urea......urea is 287% equivalent protein !!!!!!!!!! Now...go back and get your numbers straight before you mislead some good cattlemen into killing some animals by following you're recommendations.
Well TexasBred Considering you seem to think of yourself as the master cattle nutritionist the first thing you will want to do is give Kent feeds a call here is their website you should be able to find a contact number for them on that site.

I'm sure Kent Feeds will be very interested to hear how they are misleading good cattlemen into killing their animals by feeding their product. The mass produced NRB 40-25 protein pellet has a higher inclusion rate of urea than the pellet that I feed. My pellet has 40% protein with 22% by way of urea theirs is 40% protein 25% by way of urea. After you get done telling them how stupid they are come on back here and show us how much smarter you are afterwards. It always amazes me how people on here are clueless about what they are commenting on but yet they just continue to flop at the mouth about it. Internet Cowboys make life fun for the rest of us.
One last suggestion you may want to take your own advice go back and get your numbers straight before YOU mislead people with your wild figures.
