[QUOTE="novatech, post: 584207, member: 5494"] To maintain a dry cow it only takes about 7% protein. For growing heifers or bulls a higher rate of 12% should be adequite. The subject of protein always comes up but very little about fat. For lactating cows it is very important that it is considered to carry them through winter. Depending on the weather in your area, the breed you raise and the condition of your cattle it well may be the more important issue. Feeding protein will encourage cattle to consume more forage which may add the necessary energy to their diet. [/QUOTE]
