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.

A lot of hard work goes into growing and harvesting the feed so ensuring it meets your herd’s nutritional requirements is important.
