[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 855638, member: 6291"] I am not saying your wrong but you can't make that assumption based on the info given. For all we know he fed hay on monday that lasted 3 days, cubes on Thurdsay and Friday... then made them scrounge around for forage over the weekend where they utilize the tubs the most. Or he may have 15 cows with calves consuming the majority and the other 15 are getting by on the forage. If you watch how the cattle actually use the tubs its really only in super dry years that all the cattle hit them hard. Its more common to see big calves that are at that weaning age, cows nursing calves, bulls who have been breeding cattle. You can see the rotations of the animals that need it hanging around the tubs and the others don't frequent them any where near as much. That is why you can't average out the tub over the whole heard in all cases. [/QUOTE]
