[QUOTE="dcara, post: 251171, member: 473"] I started using an economy 2:1 range meal recently. 20% protien, 8% fat. They seem to be eating about 2lbs/day/hd. I don't know for certain but I thought the salt might help with the heat stress and water retention also. Does anyone have any thoughts on that part of it. I know salt toxicity can be an issue. One of my neighbors lost a cow last year due to feeding range meal in a forage limited situation. Mine have plenty of dried up grass and access to water so I'm not worried about that aspect of it. I've been watching the cow pies and they look just about right from a protien standpoint. [/QUOTE]
