Well his Aggies already won so he should be by sooner or later.

JMJ sorry to be so late to the party. This product is just your "typical" liquid feed. Nothing wrong with it but nothing exceptional either. You won't get any weight gain but it will help cattle maintain weight when fed low quality roughage. Nothing wrong with having the urea (NPN) either. A good cost cutter and effective.
One with a higher fat content would have more energy but with limited intake it's doubtful it give much gain AND it would probably cost considerably more.JMJ Farms":3mmlpfca said:TexasBred":3mmlpfca said:JMJ Farms":3mmlpfca said:What is the good and bad of this analysis?

Thanks TB. Is there a better alternative that will help with cleaning up the lower quality roughage and promote weight gain? Or is that like having your cake and eating it too?

Straight liquid. Most common way to feed it around here is in lick wheel tanks.

ive thought about using it with cows on corn stalks that might be economicalJMJ Farms":3cm3x5p1 said:MtnCows93":3cm3x5p1 said:that makes sence, ive seen them but never used one.JMJ Farms":3cm3x5p1 said:Straight liquid. Most common way to feed it around here is in lick wheel tanks.
They work real good. It's just an expensive way to feed cows imo. But it will help utilize some of this low quality standing forage.

Many years ago when we were still trying to build our herd we had a contract with a big operation to be a cooperative herd. We would set up our cattle as recips the first two years we were having conception rates of 65% the first year 70% the second year. The third year we fed liquid feed with urea and our conception rate went to 35%. The only change in management was the liquid feed. When the embryologist started trying to nail down what was going on and we showed him the breakdown of the feed he told us urea would have an adverse effect on conception. Like I said I can't show any evidence that it was the urea but by golly that was the end of liquid feed for me.
