At what point is it worth it to start grinding your own feed? Last winter I fed six tons as a supplement for fall calvers and another 3.5 tons back grounding calves. It also looks like I am going to be finishing out at least five steers as well this winter, which took 1.5 tons per steer last year. 14% protein soy hull-corn-cotton seed feed is $235/ton delivered from the local mill and ear corn is $131/ton delivered from a local farmer. Would buying a cheap feed grinder such as an old New Holland 353 and grinding ear corn save enough money to be worth while?
Short answer NO! Not if you have anything else to use your time for. GrMixers breakdown. |
