A protein tub is a convenient way to provide extra nutrition when needed. One of its key benefits is that once you place it in the pasture, you can rest assured that you don’t need to check it daily. This benefit is beneficial for those who may have a job back in town, providing a sense of relief from daily checking responsibilities.
A benefit for both the full-time and “part-time” rancher is that a protein tub can improve the overall grazing in a pasture. You can move them into more underutilized areas to encourage cattle to move to those areas.
When making any type of investment, it is prudent to do your homework before making any decision. So, before you run off to the local feed store, I have five things you can look at before you buy your first protein tub.
