[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 362484, member: 1604"] Wait a minute now. It's not as simple as putting up any particular percentage protein feed and letting it go as the gospel. There is more than one way to skin a cat. 1300 lb lactating cows' needs = 2 lbs protein per day (from memory) 12 lbs. per of the day of the 18% feed as opposed to 24 lbs of the 9% feed. (hay notwithstanding) Some people feed a distillers grain that is 30-40%. Just know how much total protein your animal needs and adjust accordingly. [/QUOTE]
