    Nutritional differences in gmo and non gmo corn

    Lots and lots of studies that show no nutritional differences for humans. No reason to expect any differences for cattle. GMO corn is the same as non-GMO plus one extra protein that is easily digested.

    johnson grass

    We lost two heifers a couple weeks ago to prussic acid. About 15 went down shortly after being rotated into a new pasture with just a spattering of Johnson grass. Gave sodium thiol sulfate in the vein and all but those two recovered within a few minutes. We had about 0.2" of rain 11 days...
