[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 555795, member: 1682"] We feed Feed-Rite Cow/Calf Breeding mineral. It is 16% Calcium and 16% Phosphorus, essentially a 1:1 ratio, with other trace minerals. It is made in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It costs $36 per 50 lb bag. We are feeding about 95 head (cows, calves, yearlings, bulls) about 1/2 a bag a week, so about $20 a week. We expect to have about a 9 week breeding season and expect to pay about $180 for mineral for those 9 weeks, or in our terms, about 1/2 the profit from a yearling steer. Phosphorus is what costs, but we need it to get cows cycling. Last calf was born just over a month ago and just about everything has already cycled and been bred...even the couple of cows that had retained their placentas. Minerals is critical to get cows bred and have a tight calving season, so it is one of few things that we do need. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
