[QUOTE="BRG, post: 877239, member: 2397"] We are feeding our sale bulls a little different this year. As we decided corn was to dang high priced. Our nutritionist come up with this. Here is what they are getting, this is for a 2.5 to 3lbs a day gain. 39% - Corn silage(we combined some and it did 60 bushel to the acre, so not much corn there) 33% Modified Wet Distillers 14% - 2 year old grass/alfalfa hay 14% - 2 year old millet straw This ration tested out to be 15.23% protein and comes to a .49 NEg (MCAL) We did a test weight on them last week and we have 2 pens of bulls that will be a year of age in March. They are sorted by size. The bigger bulls were gaining 3.38 lbs/day and the smaller bulls are gaining 3.15 lbs/day - We may have to slow them down some, we will take another test weight in 3 weeks. If they are still doing this, we will back off on them as I don't want to get them fat. Anyway, I posted this so you can see that Distillers will do it without the help of corn. BUT, you need to have your minerals and vitamins included or you could have some issues. [/QUOTE]
