[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1776245, member: 25299"] Question for more experienced ranchers. Around my area, a 50 pound bag of 20% cubes sells for $12.00. I feed two bags each weekend to a small herd of 18, cows and claves combined, just to keep them tame and coming. I also keep a protein lick tub for them. The question is, do protein cubes add any real nutritional value, especially in the small amount I feed once weekly, or should I instead put that money into buying more quality hay bales? They eat the 2 bags of cubes in about 10 minutes but a 1200# bale lasts them around 4 days. 8 cube bags a month, $96; 1 bale $100. [/QUOTE]
