Dues to severe lack of hay and long winter, the few cattle i did not sell are in need of some decent reconditioning. Can any one provide a good feed mix I could have made up. Coop mix"s seem to be heavy on what ever it most expensive. Will have plenty of good new seeding alfalfa/oats hay for harvest in a few weeks, but want something I can supplement routinely, as in a daily treat, and get some weight and condition back into them. This group has a mix of yearling heifers, a bull, some 3-4 year old cows, and some calves in that 1-6 month age. Calves also have a creep feeder with sweet feed in it, my main concern is the cows, bull, and 500#+ hiefers. I assume the oats should be ground for the older cattle, correct?
