[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1438809, member: 6897"] HD in your and my neck of the woods most commercial feeds manufactured for cattle would use cottonseed meal as the primary protein source. You do however have a lot of by-products that have good levels of protein and are very digestible. Wheat middlings, rice bran adn corn gluten feed are just some of the many. Alternative protein sources may be canola and/or sunflower meal. Corn or milo is usually used as the primary source of starches and energy. Cattle of all ages need certain levels of protein for growth but a higher percentage of gain comes from the energy levels of the feed. Stockers will do much better on a 11-14% feed with a high energy level than a 25% feed with a lesser energy level and it will cost much less to feed. No matter what you feed or how much you feed keep in mind that forage (grazing and/or hay/or silage) should always be the primary ingredient in the ration adn you build the feeding program around that. Feeding horses etc. is a whole nuther ball game. [/QUOTE]
