What do the Purina tubs cost? I feed crystlyx, which is very similar, and just wanting to compare cost.
You could feed 4 lbs. of corn per head per day for $.308 and get 2 times the protein plus energy than what protein you are getting from the 1/2 lb. per day intake of a 30% protein tub. In the winter months it would be about the same protein intake but the corn would have more energy. That's figuring the tubs at 225 lbs. and 30% protein. Corn @4.30 per bushel. Winter time @ 120 days. Using these figures you are spending approximately $140.65 per cow per year on tubs. It won't work for me here.-XBAR- said:Gargan said:-XBAR- said:

Around $130. I keep them out year round-- intake will fluctuate from about a half lb in summer to a full lb when Im feeding hay.
