[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1683819, member: 22295"] I agree with the above posts. Better too feed nothing than make a change. I had some heifers back in the winter I was about too sell. My supplier was out it was going to be 3-5 days before I could get any. So I subbed a similar feed in protein value and cut amount by 50%. The issue is some didn't eat the different feed and a few will eat anything. Had 6 hogs that got too much. Our vet said anytime you are changing rations to back down too 1-1 1/2 lbs then increase every 2-3 days. We couldn't sell the hogs when we sold the rest. Our supplier was out because the mill couldn't get some ingredients during the severe cold and snow. In the end I would of been better taking all feed away. It ended up taking him 10 days to get the mix we were feeding. [/QUOTE]
