[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 984314, member: 14585"] Why would some one buy a protein tub rather than hay? 200 lb 20% protein tub sells for $57.50 or $575 a ton 20% x 2,000 lbs = 400 lbs of protein = 1.43 per pound of protein A ton of alfalfa/grass mix hay that tests 15% protein 13% moisture = 261 lbs of protein on dry matter basis per ton 15% hay delivered at $175 ton = 67 cents per lb of dm protein vs $1.43 tub protein People must be buying the tubs, I see them at all the farm stores. Even if you had 30% waste feeding hay... Is there any sensible reason to pay more than double for a protein tub vs hay? [/QUOTE]
