[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 584262, member: 6897"] You use the word "fat" and I assume you're using this as a energy supplement. Fat has about 3 1/2---4 times the energy of corn yet cost about 10 times as much. A very expensive energy source for maintenance, however, I agree that more intake of hay is also critical especially for body warmth during colder weather. "Breed" of cow also factors heavily into the equation as well as body condition going into colder weather, pregnancy and/or lactation. We're asking for performance so need to supply a diet with adequate protein and energy to allow the cow the best opportunity to perform up to potential. [/QUOTE]
