All Natural 18% Protein Livestock Supplement

Low-moisture cooked molasses, all-species safe, and one of the tubs Susie reaches for first.

When pastures thin out — whether it's late summer heat, a dry spell, or just grass that's past its prime — livestock still need somewhere to make up the protein gap. That's exactly the situation the All Natural 18% Protein Livestock Supplement Tub from Positive Feed is built for, and it's one that our own Susie Allgood points customers toward again and again.

What It Is

This is an 18% protein, all-natural molasses tub with no added copper or urea, which means it's safe to feed across all species of livestock — cattle, horses, sheep, and more — without the copper-toxicity concerns that come with some other tub formulas. It's a 200 lb tub, priced at $110.00 here at Co-Lin, and it's labeled with a purple label in our system, so if you're calling in an order or hunting for it on the shelf, that's your marker.

Why Co-Lin Likes It

We've  been doing this over 30 years, and the read on this tub comes down to two things:

1. Low-moisture, cooked molasses — the cooking process gives the tub a firmer, more consistent texture, which naturally controls how much an animal can eat in one visit. That means steady, predictable daily intake instead of animals gorging early and running the tub dry.
2. It's built for exactly the situation a lot of us are dealing with right now — short or poor-quality grass. When forage quality drops, this tub steps in to balance out the nutrient deficiencies that come with native or improved grass hay, dormant grasses, or thinner pasture, without replacing the forage itself.

Feeding Guidelines

• Cattle: one tub per 6–8 head
• Horses: one tub per 5 head
• Sheep: one tub per 30 head
• Daily consumption typically ranges from about 1 ounce up to 1½ lbs per animal, depending on species and forage conditions
• Place tubs near natural gathering points — watering areas, loafing spots, or cross trails — to encourage multiple small feedings throughout the day rather than one big one
• Adequate forage must still be available; this supplement works alongside grazing, not in place of it
• Because of the concentrated vitamin and mineral content, this is a supplement — not a feed — so keep consumption within the recommended range

Bottom Line

If your ground is looking a little rough right now, this is the tub Susie would hand you. All-natural, all-species safe, no copper or urea to worry about, and priced to make sense for herds of any size. Look for the purple label in-store, or ask any of us to point you to it.
