[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 712763, member: 8829"] Tubs are actually a very good source of protein but you better have alot of forage for them to eat because if not they will try and fill up on the tubs I did some comparisions on tubs last yr for a feeed dealer and I found out the most expensive tubs were actually the cheapest to feed I was using them for cows grazing on stockpiled fescue and cleaning up thick standing grass that they otherwise wouldn't eat or when they did it had little protein the ones I ended up using made the cows and calves look slick and shiny and the cows did clean up alot more of the rank grass than in previous yrs I am not using them this yr on the cow herd except on some 1st calf hfrs and some replacement hfrs just so they get an extra boost there was a pretty good discussion on this last yr on a thread I started the ones I fed had 12% fat and I beleive 38% protein cost per day per cow averaged around $.27 per hd per day [/QUOTE]
