[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 273544, member: 391"] I'm a little lost with your figures-- So heres mine on the 7 wts 23 head at 700lbs = 16,100lbs Means that they could eat around 402lbs of feed/day (2.5lbs feed/100lbs wt) At 50:50 That would mean 200lbs of Alfalfa and 200lbs of OAts/day Your figures(if I'm understanding them right) make me think you still don't have the oats% up there high enough(for high rates of gain). Sound like you are measuring your oats by a "bale" -- Thats new to me--out of curiosity explain more. Maximum consuption- is the weight that at the next feeding there is very little left in the bunk but the bunk is not licked clean-- one of the nice things about feeding a bulky feed is that you can have feed out all day and have less digestive problems. There may be cheaper ways to get the gain(unless your Alfalfa is real cheap). But its not near as safe. [/QUOTE]
