[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 947984, member: 18809"] We just had our Beef Tour tonight, and one of the places we stopped was Jackie Moore's place. For those who do not know, he built and owns Joplin Stockyard, IIRC. They buy calves from 110 to 400 pounds every Monday (from 100 to 500 head weekly). They have a huge program these calves go through, but the feed they mix is made up of cereal (like fruit loops and such), a nut mix (the mix had cashews, peanuts, pistachios), and other commodities. They said that peanuts are real cheap right now compared to corn product. Basically, what they were telling the group is, think about what commodities the drought did not affect, and find a way to feed it. They are feeding these calves silage, so I know it works. [/QUOTE]
