[QUOTE="Helpinghand, post: 7955155, member: 147753"] if you are feeding this, you might as well just go and buy a load of whatfeed pellets and the minerals seperate. will do just as well and cheaper. We have turned so many people away from blends, you can do just as good if not better job by feeding 1 high quality product. Maize gluten feed great for growing cattle. Or even getting someone to make you a bespoke blend. you could do, Soya (because its cheaper than rapemeal), sugarbeet nuts (for fibre), Rolled barley (for a bit of starch to flesh them up as they grow). Also do not be afraid of Asking your company what the sugar and starch content is as well, you never get it and it is such an important part of any ration. too much starch and those small cattle will risk getting plump and lack frame, not enough and they wont be able to utilise the protein and you are basically wasting money. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
