Protein Tubs

[greybeard]

I've seen protein tubs for about $60-$70/200lb locally but they ain't worth a crap. My cows wouldn't touch the one I did try a couple of years ago, and I've never found a source nearby for ddg here.
This is oil/gas country and the ethanol for the refineries comes in via pipeline.

The Smart Lick 30% protein tubs with IGR are $113.00 for a 250 lb tub. There's a $5 deposit on the tub (they're metal & reuse them) but you get it back or credit. These last waaay longer than any tubs we've purchased at Orscheln, TSC, Atwoods, etc.

Last winter I bought alfalfa hay that tested 18% protein for $125 a ton delivered. I fed it at about 5 pounds per head per day which gave them plenty of protein and it saved on the amount of other hay I fed. I fed it in bunks. While living on the coast I never fed hay on the ground. Too much mud made for too much waste.
