I live in West Texas my hubby just calls it cake, but the sack definitely says range cubes. I am Guilty of typing what I hear on a daily basis, forget about the wording police sometimes. In CO with the colder temps I am assuming PF fed range cubes ( cattle cake) every other day if not daily.In Texas, we call those "Range Cubes." It is an easy way to give them some extra protein, especially in winter. Since the cubes are large and very compacted the cattle will get most of it eaten as opposed to being wasted if it is the little pellets on the ground. It is a good chance to gather the herd to see if any are missing or sick as well, and keeps them happy to see you. Once when I was young I went into my granddad's pasture to go fishing. A cow looked up and saw me. She started running toward me. The rest of the herd followed suit. I started running, and they started running faster. I thought they were going to attack me, so I slid under the barbed wire fence yanking out a wad of hair, but I escaped them. My grandfather laughed and laughed. They weren't trying to attack me. They thought I was going to feed them!!!
I am thinking KB was very familiar with cattle since her parents are retired hay farmers and most likely enjoyed midnight runs to check cattle. KB was the complete package, licensed pilot and a farmers daughter.
Adding : PF really screwed up his life not trying to man up and make a life with a quality young woman. Such a waste to lose KB.
