We kept about 5,000 bu of corn this year to feed out with the market kinda going south this year. I was wondering what would be something cheap to mix with it to make it go a long way. I have access to candy, calcium, soybean meal, cotton seed meal, ect. at my local feed yard. I have a gehl mixer so I do plan on cracking/crushing the corn. Im just looking for a good mix that not going to break me, where my calves will gain about 3 lb a day. I can buy feed now that I know they will gain 3lb a day on for 170 a ton so im trying to stay under 100$ per ton doing it ourself.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Last year we picked some ear corn and kept it and really liked it just didnt have time to put some up this year with weather conditions. We used to mix a crusher load (3600lb i believe) and add candy, soybean meal, and minierals. Going to just go back with that if I cant find any better mixes but always looking to improve!
Thanks
