I got the results back from midwest labs. See attached image

The boys have these animals on feed:

8 older open cows in the small pasture
2 3/4 year old 7way dairy crossed with semi angus opens

8 fall calves on the open cows
7 spring/summer calves weened but in with these cows

The above cows and calves are running together.

5 fall calves on the bottle soon to be weened.

200-ish laying hens

To mix with the ground popcorn I can get locally
oats for $6.35. 32# bu,
soy meal Meal $425tn 48% Protein

For hay/ruffage I have some year old grass hay and picking up a grass/clover/Alalfa mix big rounds this weekend.

Was thinking of doing a 17%P mix as my base mix in one feed wagon to bucket feed from.

For hens add oyster shell in top of each bucket.

For calves have another wagon of just ground popcorn and add a bucket or whatever we need to get that mix lower protein and lower cows to fatten the killer cows and calves.

Flaws in my idea?

Suggestions?



For the chickens I like to use about 50% high protein wheat and then cracked corn (I roll it) adding protein to get it to 16% (higher protein gives better egg lay imo).

Interesting chickens - - - what breed is that rooster - - - tia?
