A protein tub is an excellent way to provide extra nutrition when needed. One benefit is that once you have placed it in the pasture, you don’t need to check it every day. Not having to check it daily is helpful for those that may have a job back in town.
A benefit it can provide for both the full-time and “part-time” rancher is that a protein tub can be used to improve the overall grazing in a pasture. You can move them into more underutilized areas to encourage cattle to move to those areas.
With making any investment, it is prudent that you do your homework before you make 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.
