[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1830308, member: 5381"] Tubs have their place. I use a few them in the late fall and winter on my remote place where I run my one & done's. The cooked tubs I buy have a mineral package included. $125/each for 225 lbs. The old cows seem to do very well on them. They have shine to their coat and tend to put on a few pounds up until about Mid January where the dry grass finally plays out and the calves are big. The cows slim down some over the next few weeks. They get by on the sparse grazing, some salt, the tubs and two rolls of hay per cow. Feed costs are about $175 per pair. By March the grass starts to come back and the pairs are ready to be split up in April/May. The cows sell into the prime time of the market. Its one of the simpler ways to make some money and generally gives me a number of good calves to add to my own to background and sell as a larger group. [/QUOTE]
