CowBytes is back!

CowBytes, is a ration balancing software and an excellent resource that enables beef producers to formulate their own feed rations. The software comes pre-loaded with average values for common feeds, but we strongly recommend you enter the values from your feed tests.

The nutritional quality of feed can vary immensely year to year and from one area to another. So our suggestion is that the first step in this process is testing your feed. A lot of hard work goes into growing and harvesting the feed so ensuring it meets your herd’s nutritional requirements is important.
