I generally keep a couple protein suppliment tubs out for the cows, especially in the winter and like now, when the grass is pretty well burned up. I figure that the grass and hay is good for roughage and whatever little nutrients it has, and the suppliment would take up the slack for lack of protein.
Now, along comes "energy" . I am told that while the way I feed does supply protein, that it does not supply "energy". I have always thought that protein was where energy came from. Have I been missing something?
The guy that tells me this says that he has had cows die from lack of "energy", in spite of being otherwise well-fed and in pretty good body condition.
