      Or feedlots. Most of the time when I was using it and it was all contracted out, the gin would say the culprit were feedlots in the panhandle buying it all up.

          ... and it's still a good price for cattle feed because it's relative to every thing else.

            There might have been some protein mixed in (70 tons or so)

            60 tons of cottonseed, some corn, and some alfalfa.

            We have an across the fence neighbor that does nothing, same genetics.

            Still, we talk to lots of folks that did everything we do, except for the cottonseed, and they had terrible fawn crops.

                Sort of….snares for coyotes, and shoot the ones we see, but bobcats got a pass.

                It’s never-ending, but we also had good early grass for the fawns and the quail to hide out this year.

                  Sounds like a good environment for fawns. Good nutrition for mama, lower predator numbers, places to hide....

                    About the same as across the fence….we actually trap ON the fence, though.

                      Whatever you're doing seems to be working well.

                        I paid $225 to $240 for my super sacks up until august of this year. Haven’t bought any since but will be buying some next month.

                        I hope it hasn’t gone up that much since August.

                          That may have been the delivered price.

                            With cattle, the fat content of wcs helps with fertility and milking.

                            Everyone wants to emphasize protein content, which for growing is important. When you're looking at whole herd health, that fat content is the key. Fat is usually expensive in feed. Protein is cheap.
