[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 30890, member: 173"] I'll have to agree with the previous posts.. we hauled 110 cows to Texas 12 years ago during a drought and had to feed them "out of the bag" for two years. It was not a profitable venture! In hindsight, we should have sold half the herd in Illinois. I'm guessing selling the herd down isn't something you want to consider.. so a good quality hay is a must. We also fed a 10% gound feed from the local mill every other day. We tried the lick tank approach, and that was a total waste of $$.. I think the only time they are viable is if you're not there every day to feed. We also sold one of our ranchs this spring! It was 22 miles one way, and the drive time, fuel expense, etc. was not worth the effort. We've sold about half our cow herd off, and although it was REALLY tough to do, we're happier for it now!
