Fire Sweep, WCS cost me $190/ton this year, or 9.5 cents per pound. But it's readily available here.

Just got rid of the headache all it takes is three pounds of feed a day to satisfy a cows nutrition needs now I need 27 pounds to fill her up
2-1 mix two parts CSM one salt 27% protein have it mixed by the ton in super sacks at the local mill. Salt as limiter make them clean up some poor hay and stay rolling fat. Also liked Cargill Liquid Supplement when we could get it, haven't been able to get it here in the last 6 or 7 years.JMJ Farms":lrmr5q5g said:Caustic Burno":lrmr5q5g said:Not really still lease the same hay field I have for years.

You don't want to use either if you have good hay as it will build a fire in their belly and they will go through some hay and clean up a pasture.
CB Cargill sold their liquid feed (Mol Mix) to Westway about that time. Westway owns just about all the liquid feed in the country now just might be marketed under different names.Caustic Burno":3juvnerq said:2-1 mix two parts CSM one salt 27% protein have it mixed by the ton in super sacks at the local mill.

When I quit in 2011 I had 46 dollars a roll in mine by the time you factored diesel string fertilizer replacement parts.littletom":2ai5dbh2 said:17 dollars to have one bale rolled? How much do you have in a roll of your own hay?

Lot of people bailing hay with a dull pencil

TB, the treating of the hay is not reasonable this time of year. In the cold weather, it will take more than 8 weeks to get desirable results. That will be about Spring here.... lol
I asked him about the CSM and salt, he said that was a common practice and good option. However, DDG's are cheaper than CSM, so he suggested mixing 80/20 DDG/salt. I ordered a ton at the mill, $176 for a ton. That sure is a lot cheaper than tubs! It is coming in 50 pound bags, and I can just dump one as needed in the mineral feeder between the mineral and salt. Sounds easy, I'll let you all know how it works.
That's fine. The DDG should work well. Most down this way use cottonseed meal in that mix just because of the higher protein and availability. Best wishes.Fire Sweep Ranch":2liejuoa said:To update this thread, I talked with the extension about my options.
