[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1026089, member: 694"] King we have a feed mill at our feed store will blend what ever you want. 2-1-1 it 50% corn 25% cottonseed meal and 25 % salt as a limiter. When they were consuming more than I wanted went to 1-1-1 33% corn 33% cottonseed meal and 33% salt . With the feeder I can monitor pound's consumed and adjust the limiter on the next blend. Edit King the 1-1-1 blend is actually more expensive as the highest cost is the cotton seed meal in the blend. It is not much more as you have increased salt as well which virtually cost nothing compared to the corn and csm. The reason I like range meal I can monitor pound's consumed and adjust the limiter to keep cow's in condition with crappy hay. With this type of feeder you don't have the boss cow fighting the shy girl's away. They are going to eat so much and go get a drink and lay down. [/QUOTE]
