i'm talking about 50-70 lb small bales.( like the real cattlemen still use ;-) quote]
:shock: :roll: :lol: :cboy: ;-)
Corn Gluten (Dry) is $130 a ton delivered. It tests out 23-25% Protein. They guarantee it to have 16% but it always tests in the 23-25% for us. You have to feed a good mineral supplement with it. All you need now is some roughage IE: hay,silage, corn stalks,etc. You can reduce you hay usage back 25-40%.KenB":mkbhzhib said:HEREFORD ROADHOG":mkbhzhib said:KenB":mkbhzhib said:You will have to put that in 4X5 round bales for cattle hay.

I think the debate might have been ( sarcastic ) if " real " cattlemen use round or square bales. :lol:msscamp":36rcy9jc said:Mahoney Pursley Ranch":36rcy9jc said:Square bales are going to the wayside these days around here.msscamp":36rcy9jc said:KenB":36rcy9jc said:You will have to put that in 4X5 round bales for cattle hay.

Ok, but if one bought a load of small squares - as the original poster apparently did, why would they need to be "put in 4X5 round bales for cattle hay"? I don't see where square bales going by the wayside in your part of the country has anything to do with being able to feed small squares. :???: :???:
