[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 154323, member: 861"] Ryan, We fed a lot of Beet Pulp about 10 years ago. We fed all of ours dry, and mixed into our regular ration. If it was going to help, I thought that it needed to expand in the rumen, not before it was fed. In answer to your questions, all feed should be measured by weight, not by scoops. Now, I never found anybody that had a true measure of how much to add. I think the main point is to not take away any of your ration. If your calves will eat an addition 5 pounds, feed it, but just don't cut back on the good stuff. There will be no adverse effects to feeding only before a show. According to the practicing nutritionists I have visited with. Beet Pulp is mostly sugar (carb) and fiber. You will get more feed value from Hay, and will also get the fiber, but the Beet Pulp may add more weight. I found that genetics combined with a real good feed program did a whole lot more for total volume and depth of flank in our calves than Beet Pulp. I could never see that it helped, but it won't hurt as long as you don't let it cut in to your calves normal consumption of grain. Knock yourself out!! :P [/QUOTE]
