[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 50419, member: 643"] MR3, Yes when feed to high of barley the feet do not hold up. When it comes to breeding time and traveling their feet will not hold up ,soft, not sturdy to rapid of growth during devlopement. I know of a few people that will not buy bulls that were grown with barley in the ration after going though the bad expereinces. I do not know the amount of barley it takes to have these effects though. Some barley won't hurt. But correlate with the rest of the feed. Dun, Nah I don't want to pay for a filler. I use the cake and pelets for my main sourse of protein and energy. Especially during the cold cold times, where a cow can eat all day long on hay and not get her body any warmer. So I make sure my cake is from the whole grain not the sweepings off the floor after the other product was made. I've even done the "fine" test. take a pellet/cake and put it in a cup of water and let it soak. If it sinks then were good, if the stuff floats with shellings not good. So far so good. Corn isn't to bad to feed on the ground - especially on packed snow(but I don't supose you have much of that white stuff). On dirt it isn't so good if the dirt should get loose. [/QUOTE]
