[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11149"] Without knowing what protein is in their hay/feed, asking which level to feed is not a great question. Different breeds of cattle require different levels of protein, as does the stage of lactation. Growing heifers also are higher in requirements. An average beef cow in gestation is supposed to need 9%, up to 12% at lactation but they can have problems at that level. Simmies need 12% gestation, 14% lactation for growth and lactation in my experience--which we were able to achieve with good hay. Perhaps post what you're feeding and your questions will make more sense. Also, whether to use the block or lick tank depends a lot on price and facilities. [/QUOTE]
