[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 687220, member: 8829"] [b][color=#FF4000][/color][/b] I will agree that tubs cost money but it also depends on your situation you have to weigh the cost to gain the tubs I feed are 36% protein and 12% phosphorous and I calve in the fall and therefore my cows are needing extra protein for milk production the cost last yr to feed tubs was $0.27 per day per cow/calf pair for a 4 month period it also lessens the amount of hay I have to feed because I can run on stockpiles grass that they otherwise wouldn't clean up as well therefore saving on fuel and wear and tear on equipment and it also lessened my mineral cost by about $.02 per hd per day and the tubs I use have 12% phosphorous so it helps my cows breed back better in the winter therefore letting me have a higher % of breds in a 60 day breeding season and also the cows come out of winter with a good BCS and their calves are slick and usually weighing in around 450-500 lbs at 180-190days [/QUOTE]
