I kinda learned a long time ago that there's no sense buying feed to add in if you have enough home grown feed. Aside from minerals, what's the sense in paying good money for other sources of protein and fiber if you have corn, hay and silage?
Back in the early days when I as milking cows, I was buying soybean meal and mixing it with ground ear corn. Then I read University of Kentucky research saying that one of the best sources of protein in a dairy ration was ground ear corn. I slapped myself in the forehead and said ''You dummy, why are you replacing ear corn with something that research says breaks down in the first stomach and doesn't make milk anyway?''.
A feed salesman stopped in one time and wanted to sell me a beef supplement. I told him I was doing fine feeding all home grown. I wasn't aggressive about it or anything, I was respectful. He didn't even try to push it. He just said ''Well, there's nothing more profitable than home grown''. It's just my own humble opinion, but I'd say if you have feed, quit buying all that other stuff. It's for when you're scraping the bottom of the barrel and feeding nothing else but poor roughage.
