[QUOTE="cattlemom, post: 155099, member: 2222"] Ok, I have another line of thought for this thread. AAOK, you say that beet pulp is mostly sugar or carbs. Have you ever heard of feeding potatoes to animals to increase their appetite. We tried this with a steer last year & it worked, but it drives me crazy because I don't understand why it worked. I tried to relate it to eating a lot of carbs or sugar myself - like if I eat donuts for breakfast I get hungry faster than if I eat something with more protein. So is it possible that beet pulp keeps appetite up because of the carb content? Also, on the longhorn calves - if you have a way to separate them while they eat try feeding one beet pulp and just regular feed for another if you have a couple that are the same size & see if you can tell a difference.
