# Introducing Mix List: Your Feed Mixing Calculator in Feedlot Solutions Cloud

 Mar 14, 2026

- [![Gemini\_Generated\_Image\_whmzqswhmzqswhmz](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gemini_Generated_Image_whmzqswhmzqswhmz.png?width=2816&height=1536&name=Gemini_Generated_Image_whmzqswhmzqswhmz.png)](https://feedlotsolutions.com/)

 

The **Mix List** is a handy tool that helps you figure out exactly how much of each feed component you need at different total weight levels. Think of it as a recipe scaler for your rations — you pick a ration, set your weight range, and the system calculates everything for you.

## Getting There

From the top menu, click **Feed**, then select **Mix List**.

![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2026-12-46-51-5488-AM.png?width=579&height=340&name=image-png-Mar-14-2026-12-46-51-5488-AM.png)

You'll see two panels: **Ration Details** on the left and **Report Parameters** on the right.

## Setting Up Your Mix List

### 1. Choose a Ration

Use the **Ration** dropdown to select the ration (feed recipe) you want to work with. Once selected, the components and their percentages will load automatically in the **Mix Order** table.

### 2. Adjust the Mix Order (Optional)

If you'd like to change the order in which components are mixed, simply click on a component row to highlight it, then use the **Up** or **Down** buttons to move it. The order you set here will be saved automatically when you generate the report.

> **Tip:** The mix order is saved per ration, so next time you open the same ration, your custom order will still be there.

### 3. Set Report Parameters

Fill in the four fields on the right panel:

- **Start At** — The starting total weight (e.g., 0)
- **Stop At** — The ending total weight (e.g., 50,000)
- **Step Of** — The increment between each column (e.g., 8,000 means the report shows weights at 0, 8000, 16000, 24000...)
- **Round To** — Round component amounts to the nearest value (e.g., 100 rounds to the nearest hundred)

### 4. Cumulative Mode

The **Cumulative** checkbox controls how weights are displayed:

- **Checked (default)** — Each column shows the running total of feed needed up to that point.
- **Unchecked** — Each column shows only the additional amount needed for that step.

> **Tip:** Your parameter settings are remembered automatically. Next time you open Mix List, they'll be pre-filled with your last values.

## Generating the Report

Click the **Generate** button. The mix list table will appear below, showing each component's required amount at every weight level.

The report is organized in sections of up to 7 columns each. If your weight range is large, you'll see multiple tables stacked, each covering the next set of weight levels.

> **Note:** If you change the ration or reorder components after generating, the report will hide automatically to remind you to click **Generate** again with the updated settings.

## Printing and Exporting

Once your report is generated, you'll see two buttons next to the report title:

- **Export PDF** — Downloads the mix list as a PDF file to your computer. Great for emailing or saving a copy.
- **Print** — Opens your browser's print dialog so you can send it straight to the printer. The parameter panel and menus are automatically hidden in the printout.

## Quick Reference

| Action | How |
| --- | --- |
| Open Mix List | Feed menu → Mix List |
| Reorder components | Click a row, then click Up/Down |
| Generate report | Click **Generate** |
| Print report | Click **Print** below the report title |
| Save as PDF | Click **Export PDF** |
| Go back | Click **Close** or **\<Back** |

## That's It!

The Mix List makes it easy to plan your feed mixing at any scale. Whether you're mixing a small batch or preparing for a full day's feeding, just pick your ration, set your range, and let the system do the math.
