[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1821211, member: 42820"] For 10+ years I had goats and cows. At 76 years old I decided the goats were too much for me to continue so i sold out. Had over 40 head at one time and now none. My question is that since I have 3-1/2 bags of goat feed left on hand, can I feed my cows cotton seed mixed with goat feed. I mix now cow feed with cotton seed just to keep them coming in to corral to eat so when I need to work them it makes it easier to catch them. My question is can I use up the goat feed mixed with the cotton seed and feed them? I don’t see a great deal of difference within the feed but it is mixed for goats. I know the mineral content may not be up to par for cows but it looks close. I feed them this once a week with cow feed and try to keep the 24% mineral tubs (200 lbs) out for them. Also salt and sulphur boxes are kept out. I normally mix a 50lb bag of cow feed from a local feed meal at a time with 6 five gallon buckets of cotton seed and put it in the troughs for 12 head plus 6 growing calves. Other than that they just get pasture grass. The feed looks like some cracked corn, soy beans, ground corn cobs and other stuff. I could post a label it needed. I know it has some molasses in it.
