DDGs?
Just straight? Last year, for the couple of months that I supplemented with grain I used, essentially, my mills heifer mix (I think it was 14%, but might have been 16%). I fed them about 3-5 lbs/per day just because I was worried that they were getting too skinny (these are black angus but, I think, they've got some dairy in them so they tend toward being a little on the thin side). Seemed to help get them back on track. This year, I hope this hay is better, I'll be feeding a bit more and I'll supplementing from the very beginning (though pretty light; 1-2 lb/day/head). Also too they'll have a warmer, dryer place to be; might not have to spend all their energy staying warm. Also, I'll have a real watering system in place; the water they drink should be a bit warmer. Maybe all those things will produce a smoother 2nd winter with cattle. |
How much does a small round bale weigh?
