Feeding Instructions

Practical guidance for optimal herd performance

  1. Placement

    Place containers in areas that achieve desired supplement intake

  2. Relocation

    Once acceptable intake levels have been achieved, the containers may be moved to underutilized pasture areas to improve grazing distribution and forage utilization.

  3. Accessibility

    A minimum of two (2) containers may be necessary in each lot or pasture to ensure proper accessibility.

  4. Quantity

    Feed at the rate of one container for every 40-75 head. Cattle may consume from 2 to 8 ounces per head per day. Cattle should typically consume 4 ounces per head per day. Manage the number of animals per container to achieve a 4 ounce intake per head per day.

  5. Monitoring

    Self-fed consumption will depend on size of the animals fed, seasonal weather conditions, as well as quality, source and availability of other feeds.
