Protien tubs?

I really cant say I'm a full bore tub man but I do like using them in the corners of pastures and less desirable areas. I honestly think that I get better pasture utilization with them.

I've tried a few different tubs but I finally stuck with crystalyx. I've also found that it will break a person if the cows are able to have a constant supply of them. I figure they will eat .75lb per head per day. I mark that day on my calender and figure the day they should be out of crystalyx and then maybe take some more out. If you take them out as they eat them it gets quite pricey.

Just my two cents.

We use tubs too. We use MLS tubs from Ellendale. We have tried Crystalix but found these to work better.

FH you are saying what I have been saying all along about tubs. I am gonna check my cows daily anyway so why pay extra for a convenience when you aren't gonna use it.
Many salesmen just promote these as a protein tub and when you say something about energy requirements they set there with there mouth open.
These tubs have a place but not everyplace.
