Subject: RE: Dm intake


I think your more than fine, I want my cattle eating and drinking, not a fan of the slick bunk, everybody has there own definition of slick. First feed allocation ( dry matter basis ) approximately 2% of the animals weight. Starting grain levels .75 to 1.00lb per 100 lbs of body weight.
Prefer to have a minimum of 25% hay in starting and receiving rations. When high moisture corn is available, avoid inclusion in receiving ration if possible.
read the bunks and work them up slowly. Ration formulation and management techniques that stabilize and maximize dry matter intake especially in starting and transitions rations will result in the best performing cattle.
