I am certainly no expert in this matter but as I recall cotton seed does contain a chemical that when fed in large amounts to breeding bulls could cause them to go sterile for a short time. I don't think feeding a few pounds could cause a problem, but feeding them free choice without a limitor might. You may wish to ask your vet this question regarding your breeding bull. His comment was on target for cows or younger animals. [email=phil.swords@bxs.com]phil.swords@bxs.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
