Cottonseed has become one of the most reliable, cost-effective feed options for ranchers looking to improve herd performance without sacrificing nutrition quality. Packed with protein, energy, and fiber, whole cottonseed offers a well-balanced feed supplement that supports cattle during demanding seasons – especially winter, calving, or drought. As more producers turn toward sustainable and locally sourced feed ingredients, cottonseed continues to stand out as a smart choice for long-term herd health.
High Energy for Improved Body Condition
Cottonseed is dense in fat and energy, making it a powerful supplement for maintaining and improving body condition. Whether you’re supporting cows through late gestation, helping bulls regain condition after breeding season, or managing stressed cattle, cottonseed provides the extra calories needed for consistent performance. The added fat also contributes to a healthier hair coat and better overall herd appearance.
Balanced Protein and Fiber in One Feed
One of the biggest advantages of cottonseed is that it contains both protein and effective fiber, reducing the need to purchase multiple supplements. Its protein levels support muscle development and milk production, while its long fibers aid digestion and rumen function. This nutrient combination helps cattle make better use of existing forage, stretching your pasture or hay supply further—an invaluable benefit during dry months or tight feed windows.
Cost-Effective and Easy to Incorporate
Compared to many commercial feeds, whole cottonseed offers excellent value. It can be fed alone as a supplement, blended into a ration, or incorporated into TMR mixes. Its versatility makes it ideal for operations of all sizes, from small hobby herds to large ranching programs across South Texas.
