[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12386"] Regarding candy.... You mentioned Australia & New Zealand! Where are you located? From my experience, bovines seem to be highly attracted to any type of "sweet" feed, alfalfa, range cubes, and/or any item that contains molasses. When I read about people planning to use or already using "nitch" feed items, such as chicken litter, jalapeno peppers, plastic, candy (please excuse), and other items...well personally don't think it is a very good idea. As I have noted in other posts, anything that is presently or has been re-processed into pellets, cubes, etc., which contains "forage" items, is more of a "safe" and "natural" diet for bovines. I have no idea of the medical implications of feeding non-bovine products to cattle--to me, the possible risks of a G-I or other problem as well as a Vet bill far outweigh the advantages. Just my humble opinion. [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
