[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 52810, member: 173"] Hmm.. I guess I'm right in the middle of y'all on this one. We don't feed the tubs, primarily because they are expensive, IMO, for what you get out of them. In this part of the country they are primarily used for folks that aren't living on their ranch.. kind of a "something for them to eat until I get there" kind of thing. You can buy feed with more benefits / less cost, but you have to take the time to feed it. We do feed the cows in the winter.. generally a 10-12% milled mix. Not every day, and the first calf heifers more than the cows. I have to confess, I have kept a few cows that look like heck after calving, but have a calf that will make up for the extra "pampering". Just my preference. [/QUOTE]
