High on a mountain top, in Western NC
per ton..............

800 lbs of 16% 'complete' feed with bovatec

600 lbs of calf starter, 18 % with decox.

50 lbs or agrimycin crumbles

32 lbs of salt/mineral pac

remainder home whole corn on cob /with shuck, ground to course texture.?

would ya put in any pulverized lime for the calcium uptake?


Looking to not only grow em, but also to help to develop the rumens well. :cboy:
 
I am going to try my best to be real calm and rational here fellas. It appears to me that we have 1400 lbs of material in this ration that is unknown. How can I or anyone tell if it is a good ration. Do you know what 16%complete feed is? How about Calf starter 18% with decox? I know what bovatec and salt are. I know whole corn and ground ear. The 1400 pound could be dirt with urea added. True?

I would replace the "Complete" feed with "Bustin Out" and the
calf starter with "Grow Fast". Then we would all know exactly what's in your feed. :roll: :roll: ;-)

On second thought, the snapped corn scares me! Can cows really eat that stuff? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Most of this will be p*ssed out on the ground. Animal can only absorb so much.

Why not just use an implant?
