Whole cottonseed

[Hpacres440p]

Anyone use it to supplement a lower percentage feed? Gins are humming in our area....

My winter feed is 5lbs of whole cotton seed per head with a little corn mixed in and all the hay they can eat. Cows keep good condition and hold up well. Only problem is here it's at $250 a ton now. Jumped almost $50 a ton from last year.

There should be some good threads on feeding wcs on here. There are several of us using it.

A lot of folks simply discontinue the other feed and feed straight WCS and hay. Can't buy a feed as complete as cottonseed.

We have a ton of grass right now but in the last week it went from bright green to that winter look. Time to get the molasses feeders filled and I'll start with a once a week wcs feeding in the near future.

We have wcs in our commodity mix. Most people use cotton seed hulls but they pack in the truck feeder too much for me.

Where did you find a commodity mix with wcs mixed in it?

I called a feed mill and ask them to make me a mix I could feed yearlings and cows with wcs instead of cotton seed hulls. I buy in bulk and the feed with hulls packs in the overhead bin and truck feeder. It's my 3rd yr feeding it and I really like it. It's 10% cotton seed.

Name of feed company please.
