[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 712749, member: 6198"] Watch out HD, some tubes are meant for different things. Calves get a different protien tub than weaned, than cows even. when you cost out the tubes, they are quiet expensive compared to grain. As well, some tubes are low moisture, some are high. High moisture makes it more readily available and they will go through it like candy. The low moisture they have to work at it, so they are on more of a maintainer amount. Last year we were going to use tubes to supplement. One of the livestock guys from MAFRI (manitoba ag) had the cow boss software. it increased the feed bill higher than increasing grain. With grain all cows get about the same. Where as the tubes, unless you put out several at a time to feed the whole herd, the boss cows eat alot and the lowers get way less. during our drought last year we rolled barley, got them up to 5# of it a day, and added rumensin to help get the most from the feed as well as to prevent codcidious from being shed.
