[QUOTE="hayray, post: 727557, member: 3046"] They are conveinient to use, however very expensive based on $/lb. of protein. Whenever I have had low quality hay I was trying to get an extra 1 to 2 lbs. of protein per day into them and that was hard to do with a protein tub. The highest I could get was a 40% all natural tub with average consumption of 1 to 2 lb.s per day. I think my protein was costing me over $800/ton last I figured it out. When hay is reasonably priced it is far cheaper to by alfalfa hay, $/lb. of protein is far cheaper. The ethanol industry killed my source of roasted soybeans, which were easy to feed on a pasture situation. Last year TSC had a 20% range cube for around $300/ton. I have decided for me it is hard to beat the economics and efficient use of labor of feeding a higher protein hay. [/QUOTE]
