Exploring the pasture
Recipes for cattle treats are so difficult to find, but can they just have horse treats? It's super hard to search the internet because it's so out of the loop on farm information. I'd love any ideas!

Greetings and welcome to BYH from Tn! So glad you joined us. Look around and see what interesting stuff you can find. You'll get to "meet" folks at the same time. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Oh, and we all love pics, so post them anytime you feel the need! Please make yourself at home!
PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me will never remember from this post & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!

We use range cubes as treats for the cows. A handful in a bucket makes a lovely rattle that the cows soon learn to follow.

Cubes, AN.. 20%.
Don't feed them to young calves.they're a bit large for anything that hasn't developed a good set of back teeth and they can get lodged in a young calf's throat. Not available in some parts of Ky, Va, and Tenn for some reason.
50 lb bag will run about $9.50 and will have about 300 cubes in it. Keep them dry as they will absorb moisture from the air and mold will develop after a few weeks.
Feed creep feed as a treat for young calves...the pellets are small enough to be swallowed whole.
