Cattle Feed

We recommend focusing on a mix of energy-dense grains and fiber to keep the rumen functioning properly. Dairy cows are essentially four-legged milk factories, and they require a specialized Cattle Feed to maintain their body weight while they are in peak production. We have seen that adding a bit of protein supplement can make a world of difference in the quality of the milk. Just make sure they always have plenty of clean water as well. A thirsty cow is a grumpy cow, and nobody wants to deal with that at five in the morning.

We think of this as the gravy on top of the regular Cattle Feed. It is a molasses-based supplement that is packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals. Because it is a liquid, it is easy for the animals to digest, and it helps them get plenty of nutrition out of the dry hay they are eating. We often use it to encourage the herd to finish their regular feed when the weather gets finicky and their appetites start to dip. It is a simple way to make sure even the most stubborn cow in the pasture stays healthy through the winter.
