As feeds sit, moisture moves — and a ration you built months ago slowly stops delivering the dry matter mix you designed. Reworking every percentage by hand is the kind of math nobody wants to do at 5 a.m. Ration Rebalance does it for you. ## How to launch it? 1. Go to **Feed → Rations**. 2. Click a ration to select it. 3. Hit **Rebalance** in the toolbar. *![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2026-09-58-43-8828-PM.png?width=940&height=341&name=image-png-Jul-08-2026-09-58-43-8828-PM.png)* ## How it works Every time you build or edit a ration, FLS quietly snapshots each component's dry matter — call it the **baseline**. Rebalance compares each component's dry matter *today* against that baseline. - Components that haven't moved stay put. - Components that drifted get recalculated. FLS holds each one's **dry matter amount steady** and works backward to a new as-fed percentage, then normalizes the whole ration back to 100%. Translation: the same actual feed on a dry basis, corrected for today's moisture. Your cattle get what you intended — not what the calendar turned it into. The page shows you everything before you save: - A **summary** up top — Dry Matter, Price, and Cost, side by side as **Current vs. New vs. Change**. You see the impact on the pen and on the wallet at a glance. - A **component table** below. Every row shows the old and new percentage and dry matter. Rows that actually changed are highlighted, so you can spot exactly what moved. ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2026-09-59-23-8086-PM.png?width=943&height=563&name=image-png-Jul-08-2026-09-59-23-8086-PM.png)   Not using FLS Cloud yet?
