[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1026454, member: 6291"] I got the big picture and what a person is trying to achieve. What Im wondering is the details of calculating protein and pounds needed. You say it takes [i]30 pounds of forage for a dry cow[/i]. If you have #30 10% forage to mainain a cow wouldn't you need less pounds of 30% forage? You also say a dry cow needs [i]30lbs of forage[/i]... then [i]the cow that can maintain condition on the least amount of forage[/i]... is that least amount of pounds or least amount of protein? Is there a formula to calculate the ratio of pounds to the amount of protein you need? It would seem like its an inversly sliding scale. Im not questioning your statements. I've never had formal training or any thing on this stuff and how to actually calculate it. [/QUOTE]
