do you like them? What do you look for? What brand/kind do you prefer?
With the lack of quality Hay in this area, Cattle dont want to leave the Tubs.So how would you control their intake?rk":1n9asyj1 said:Sure a 32% protein can be utilized well, at low intakes. It's the total protein intake that matters, not the percentage of protein in the supplement.
Energy is an important ingredient of the diet. Without adequate energy the cow will consume more supplement than is required for protein.Santas and Duhram Reds":3uu41g4y said:Back when I took An. Sci. classes I believe they said high fat content was more important than protein. It sticks with the longer and provides more energy. Has anyone else heard or believe this? Who has a high fat content?

They maintain body condition great through the winter.

Do you have a website or label or something for that stuff CB? That looks a lot more attractive to me than feeding them water/sugar tubs.
How do you use it, just pour it on the hay?

Can feed in lick wheel tanks or open topped tubs/troughs/or whatever. http://www.mix30.com Cost right now is 175 a ton (250 gallons). We use a 275 gallon square tank (inside a frame) with a ball valve attached at the bottom and a hose (via banjo coupler) to put it in the tanks.

Is the $175 per ton the normal price, or has it gone up this year?
