Supliment protein

[novatech]

After reading these threads for a long time now, I have found that almost everyone controls the amount of protein fed. I have left a lick tub in front of my cattle for the last 2 years.
I have never had a cow that I have had to pull a calf from. I never buy unproven first time heifers. The body condition scores are from 4 to 7 depending on age, dry or with calf, or how old is the calf, etc. I keep it in front of them to determine the quailty of forage they are getting and keep them in good shape. I guess I am lucky as the use very little of it.
So my question is, Am I doing some unknown harm that I don,t know about?

luck is when... preperation meets oppertunity... i see you raise brahman cattle the only time you should experiance calving problems. is when there a malpresentation. i can't see any harm in what your doing. course in my area you would have too bring that lower end body score up a few. are tie a bucket around their head to get em to rebreed

I've always known the value of liquid feed, but the problem is, not everyone sells it, or wants to invest in a lick tank. We feed Sweetlix Enproal 16% all natural tubs, because there is no Urea in them. The higher protein tubs contain too much Urea. IMHO.
