[QUOTE="Bojangles, post: 7622156, member: 3590"] So I have always tried to feed dry beef cows in winter well being careful to meet all of their dm requirements, best minerals, correct protein etc. then i visit friends who basically give them silage and minerals and free access straw. Their cows look grand and I feel stupid. Am I a victim of the sales patter? If I went to just silage, good minerals and a bit of straw would they do as well as when on silage, straw, barley, molasses through the wagon? I certainly don’t over feed they get the minimum but if you go by the books they get what’s required. What are you lot feeding beef cows kept inside both pre and post weaning? calves come in on cows atm and are crept in to other shed with ad lib good silage and nuts then weaned at turn of year. If I go all silage how many kg would 600kg cows to firstly maintain themselves and do a gallon of milk then just maintain after [/QUOTE]
