[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1743050, member: 41443"] Here is the thing I really don't understand. If you give cattle a choice, they'll eat the grain before hay/grass just about every time. I do understand that they're ruminants and hay/grass is very good for their diets and a good balance between both is probably best for them and their health. What is bad for them is a pure grain diet that some of the CAFOs feed, that's why they medicate, but not giving them any grain doesn't make too much sense to me when it's shown they grow better with both and produce a better, more marbled carcass when they get both. Sometimes those studies and books people do and write really disappoint me. They must go in trying to prove their idea and then go ahead and state their case to prove it instead of making and actual unbiased study. [/QUOTE]
