Dairy Cattle Feed

If you own dairy cattle, then you know it takes a lot to feed them. While cows can forage and graze during the warmer months, winters in northern Michigan can be long and brutal, limiting the time that your cattle can graze freely. To ensure that you have the dairy cattle feed you need to get through those winter months, look no further than North Central Feed and Supply.

 

Winter isn’t the only reason that you may need dairy cattle feed. Not all cows have access to pasture land, and even those that do often need mineral blocks to supplement their diet and keep them healthy. We’re here to help you keep your livestock well-fed all year long.

 

We supply:
  • Custom mixes
  • Bagged grain
  • Milk replacer

Which Feed Is Right For Your Dairy Cattle?

When it comes to dairy cattle feed, there is no one-size-fits-all option. There are several basic types of dairy cattle feed with hundreds of variations in nutritional value and ingredient composition. The knowledgeable staff at North Central Feed and Supply will ask the right questions to ensure you get a custom mix perfectly suited for your livestock’s needs.

 

Choosing the right feed for your dairy cattle depends on a number of factors, including:
  • Age – calves have different nutritional needs than adult cattle.
  • Purpose – dairy cattle have different dietary needs than beef cattle.
  • Diet – cows may need supplemental vitamins and minerals if they are pasture-fed.

 

You should also consider:
  • What are the benefits of the main ingredients?
  • What concentration of vitamins and minerals do my dairy cattle need?
  • What is the right combination of grass, corn and grain?

 

Dairy cattle feed is typically corn-based or forage. Forage feeds are popular as they resemble the diet of pasture-fed cattle, but corn-based feeds are very good for putting on weight, making them a more suitable choice for beef cattle. Some farmers supplement grass-fed dairy cows with a grain feed for more efficient feeding.
