[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1830251, member: 32879"] Hay and decent loose mineral has always been enough for my cows. I also like to feed a commodity grain mix by hand, just enough to keep them gentle and coming in. If I think they need more protein I can go to a higher level of protein in the grain mix. When I was younger and needed to make every penny count, I limited fed square bales, one to three cows per day, and put out a trace mineral block. They had access to quite a bit of grazing on some rougher ground. They usually lost quite a bit of weight, but gained it back when grass came. They had as good a conception rate as now and weaned good heavy calves. [/QUOTE]
