[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 781168, member: 14624"] I always put a bag of all purpose mineral in a ton of feed. Mineral is cheap enough when you buy it on a ton basis--- anyway.... yes 3% CP hay that is course will go through the mix mill better using the big screen. All I want from the coarse hay is a source of roughage because when finishing calves you must keep the rumen active and most recommend 20% roughage-- works for me. I dont use the higher % CP supplement because of potential acidosis problems (feed is too hot) and 32% is good enough. I think you will still have a 5-6:1 (lbs of feed fed: to pound of gain) no matter what you do and this has worked for me for 30 years. Thanks, JustSimms [/QUOTE]
