Not an option.......I suppose........for paul, maybe not for the hayman, because of location/trucking expense; best/cheapest ration I ever fed was cracked, shelled corn/whole cottonseed. Obviously it depends on what your corn is worth and what the cottonseed costs, but for many years we would double our money on the cost of the feed......also fed free choice grass low/medium quality hay. This was without charging anything to labor/management; had to pay the employees anyway and figured my time was basically worthless..........this was on 4-6 weight calves looking for 2 1/2--3 lbs gain per day. Never fed this in self-feeders; always hand fed; 2 people could feed a couple of hundred head in about 15 minutes.......
