[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 111530, member: 1604"] Decided not to enter any of the bull tests here this year. Has gotten way too expensive. So: Sorted the weaned (for 2 months) bulls out today, weighed, gave the 2nd round of shots, and started on full feed along with grazing. Parked full feeder wagons in the bull pasture. Calves avg. about 850. Per ton mix: 300 lbs. Cottonseed Hulls, 300 lbs. Oats, 200 lbs. Soyhull pellets. 1000 lbs. corn 50 lbs mineral, 50 lbs. calcium, 2.5 lbs. Bovatec, and 100 lbs. Molasses. $120 delivered and augured in feeders. Planning on feeding as such until Dec. 1 Have no way to calculate feed efficiency. If anyone has used the Cornell software for this calculation please give me your assessment of it. Of course, all the feedlots tell me it's really accurate, but I would like an unbiased opinion. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
