[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1835733, member: 43196"] Here is something to think about, and ask questions. Once you understand this, what I just said will make a little more sense. You already know this, but you have to make a conscious effort to alter your thinking to think in terms of a ruminant, which cows are, instead of monogastric, which we are. When you feed 'cattle', you aren't really feeding the cattle. Instead, you are feeding the microflora and microfauna or bacterial soup that is housed in the vat referred to as the rumen. the cattle actually get their nutrition form this soup, not the feed you supply to them. Not directly anyway. [/QUOTE]
