[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 504184, member: 6897"] Most of the old timers didn't like urea because in years past many feed companies didn't know how to use it properly. Urea can be dangerous but used properly has it's place. The major liquid feed manufacturers have pretty good quality control standards and make safe products. The same for companies that manufacture bagged feeds containing urea. I wouldn't be afraid of it at all. In my area 32% protein liquid feed runs about $230 a ton delivered to your lick tank. (Westway brand). Others are probably comparable. And contrary to popular belief it won't kill your horse or jenny if it eats from the lick tank. On the other hand soybean meal is around $400 a ton delivered. This can be diluted down by mixing it with corn or another grain source but would have to be hand fed. The convenience of liquid feed is a plus as well. That said, I'm not using it but have used it in the past. Don't think I ever put an ounce of weight on a cow with it but used it in the winter for increased intake of low quality hay and maintain body condition. Unless you buy a liquid feed with elevated levels of fat it has very little energy. [/QUOTE]
