Local feed mill

[Tomcolvin]

This is feed from a local feed mill in my area. They sell a lot of this feed around me. It’s only 13% protein but my cows and calves love it. I mix it in about 3-4 pounds of cotton seed per each calf (little over 1/2 qt of the cow feed). Also add a little loose mineral to it about 3 times a week. I feed this morning and evening and they eat every scrap of it up. I just tried this feed because the place I normally get it was out. What do you think?

Wonder why they wont say anything at all about the starch ? Purina is the same way. and they are using cotton seed after it's natural oil is sold elsewhere.. just like around here in Texas. what is the price per 50 pounds?

$11.00 50lb

The cotton seed is ginned here also. It still has a little cotton fuzz on them so I assume they still have the oils.

Isnt there a feed mill nearby that mixes and bags the feed or sells in bulk?
Im giving 6.50 for 16% in 50 lb bags.

Actually I only bought 5 bags to test it. And my mistake . actually $9.40 a bag. The tractor supply I was buying 14% and it was $16.95 for 50 lbs.

You might get a tag off the cottonseed and compare the two to see if you really need any thing from the 13% feed or if it could be replaced with wcs and loose mineral.
