[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1501393, member: 24816"] The last several years, I have feed rations like 1/3 cracked corn, 1/3 soy hull pellets, and 1/3 corn gluten pellets, or 1/2 corn gluten and 1/2 soy hulls, depending on what the feed company was getting. Now for 3-4 years the ration is similar but the percentage of corn gluten is higher, and dried distillers grain has been added to the mix. I am not trying to sound like some of the folks that used to holler about certain things all the time,just merely asking if this combination sounds ok for feeding breeding heifers and cows and calves through the winter? I have heard a lot of folks talk negatively about "hot feed" and cattle's feet, and admittedly I don't know what that feed is if its what I'm feeding or not. Also last year our cows calving got out of whack with several calving in June and July, the bulls checked ok and cows were in good shape. I have just left the bulls in year round since and this year the cows have done similar about half are calved now and the rest are going to be late. I have been feeding a Chelated mineral for 3 years year round until now I had went with an IGR, but will go back to chelated. [/QUOTE]
