Hello everyone!
I know it has been a long time since I wrote but I haven't had much going on, all has been quiet around here so I have just been reading.
Well I was hoping I could get some advise for feeding my steer. (He and the heifer are Holsteins) He will be a year in jan and I have been feeding him what we call Ranger 20n I would read the ingredients but I tossed the bags. (i can put them up next time I get feed) They are also getting free choice grass hay and are on about ten acres oh and mineral salt. My question is I am going through this feed very quickly ( which is to be expected) and was hoping you seasoned ranchers could recommend some other types of feed. Is it possible to buy round bales of silage in Montana? where would I go to find out? I had him on grain but the price went up considerably. I unfortunately don't even know what is available to choose from and when I asked at the feed store the guy just said that most folks buy the ranger 20n. So I did, But now need to buy it a couple pallets at a time unless there is a better way? Thanks again for all the great articals and advise you all give so willingly.
