[QUOTE="Texan, post: 131208, member: 416"] You're correct that a cow doesn't need a full ration of 20% protein. But it's all about balance. If we're trying to balance her ration from a protein standpoint, the higher the protein content of the supplement, the less of it that's required. With low quality forage/hay, we can balance those needs much better with the higher protein supplement. And it's not required that it be free choice, as long as each cow is getting enough to meet her needs on a weekly basis. It doesn't seem to me like he is concerned about the convenience factor. If he's wanting to check his cows anyway, and if he doesn't mind doing it, why not use the cubes? [/QUOTE]
