[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 440908, member: 969"] I feed the Cow-Calf 5 free choice. With Rabon during fly season, and without the rest of the year. They eat it like candy at first, and the calves start in on it really young. Before we started using it, we caught every newborn to give it a selenium and vitamin shot. Now if we don't get after them within a couple of hours of birth they are too quick to catch. The only management change we made between the lethargic calves and the ones too quick to catch was the CC5. I know it's less than $20 a bag, but not much less. $17 or $18 is what I think. Sounds expensive, but at least they eat it. Farm store stuff just laid in the barrel until it caked up. My cows won't eat the stuff with high magnesium in it. Got a bag by mistake once and they kept sniffing it and walking off. [/QUOTE]
