[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1225392, member: 21684"] Looks good I think the lower ration came out to roughly mid 20s on dry matter so depending on your cow size you are probably good just adjust if condition changes and feed more after they calve. On really cold days I add 10 -20 percent to the ration to keep them warm so they are not using as much condition to keep body heat. As far as value we have our corn silage at $40 probably a little high but I follow the 10 times rule like you, then add on chopping and bagging cost. Got ryelage ate $35 a ton and cornstalks at $50. Not so good at hay but guessing around 80-100. Your right on the cost and the extra energy help the older girls keep looking go through the winter. [/QUOTE]
