[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1520337, member: 1682"] I am like most folks around you. Hay is mediocre at times and will be supplemented with protein tubs when the manure tells the story. Mineral and salt is always available. I just try to get cows through the winter and maintain the condition they had in the fall. The poorest ones may lose ground, may slip their calf and get a ride - but that is simple selection of the fittest. I haven't seen prices high enough yet to justify the added expense and complication of producing feeds that would have been considered prime for a dairy operation 30 years ago. Changes are made far more often to cattle feeding regimes to keep up with the neighbors than anything else. People try to reinvent a cow's purpose and memories are short of low cattle prices, high input prices and high interest rates. [/QUOTE]
