It is all a matter of what you feed ingredient costs are. I will take 2lb. adg over 2.5 adg if my cost of gain is half the cost. Sounds like the ddg is about the only thing you are writing a check directly for and it is more costlier than the corn, if you can get the protein you need out of the alfalfa and feed more of your home raised corn it makes a lot of sense on your cash flow statement.
