[QUOTE="Red Boots Farm, post: 1609802, member: 32787"] I'm getting my first supply of brewer's grain from a new brewery that is opening soon in a nearby town. I jumped on it when I heard they were opening. I've never used it before -- have only read about it. I have a bred heifer (new to this too) that gets a little grain, mostly hay; a feeder steer that gets grain/hay; and two 4-week-old bottle calves that are eating starter and hay as well. Also laying hens. Dairy goats too but I'm more cautious with them. The brewery will supply far more than I need (four 35-gal. containers every time they brew) so I'm asking other cattle farmer neighbors if they would like some. The owner also has another farmer interested. Concerned about it freezing in winter -- I know you are supposed to feed it right away. What percentage should be fed? I know it's wet, like a slurry, and might take some time for them to develop a taste for it. [/QUOTE]
