How are you guys handling the cottonseed? How are you storing it/feeding it/mixing it with other feedstuffs?
I did mix it in a tmr but don't have it now so don't use cottonseed now. It also doesn't have the energy I need in stockers either.talltimber":zxng8n3s said:How are you guys handling the cottonseed? How are you storing it/feeding it/mixing it with other feedstuffs?
Right..jedstivers":goqeckrm said:You'll have to check feed and grain prices.HDRider":goqeckrm said:Like what Jed?
Like now I'm feeding 25% ddg for .08 a pound. Whole corn is cheaper than that but not as high of protine.
Cottonseed is .10 a pound.
Haven't priced rice bran.
Take the price per ton of the tubs then take the moisture out of it and see what it's costing per ton.
Then see what you can get diffrent stuff for.
A lot of times now you can get commodity feed mixed and bagged for you at a local coopHDRider":h5m166tg said:Right..jedstivers":h5m166tg said:You'll have to check feed and grain prices.HDRider":h5m166tg said:Like what Jed?

That might be in my future as I scale up.
What equipment would be needed to use that? Tell me what I missed..
Grain trailer. Auger. Grain Storage. Grinder. Mixer.
Thanks
Will depend on what sources you have around you.HDRider":2yj0gpxv said:Right..jedstivers":2yj0gpxv said:You'll have to check feed and grain prices.HDRider":2yj0gpxv said:Like what Jed?
