[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1026004, member: 6291"] My problem with the liquid feed is they all advertise limiter this... limiter that but every one I know who feeds it ... its always more. Plus you have to have to keep those things in every pasture. When you move cattle your either leaving it behind or pumping it out. Then you get rain and there is $2K worth of liquid feed that is not needed just sitting there. We actually get a lot of winter grass on native pasture. The bottoms and brush will keep a lot green. That's why I wouldn't totally clean off a place. I am not saying only tubs will work. If I can cut my trips and the amount of hay I feed in 1/2... which I did... its worth it. I have some ground feed mixes that are more energy based... I think... than protein also that I will throw in the mix. Plus, I refuse to take calves thru winter. Ill sell a little light to make sure if I have straglers. That makes a lot of difference on the feed bill. Taking a bunch of 4-5wt calves thru winter is brutal. [/QUOTE]
