Just a quick question. Is there a possibility of the cows becoming infertile from
ingesting too much.

Greg, trials have shown no apparent negative affects on fertility, calving interval or on the incidence of displaced abomasum, ketosis, milk fever or retained placenta when whole cottonseed is feed to dairy cattle at rates as high as 6=7 lbs. per head per day. ..Apparently it affects testicular function more than ovarian. When cost effective most dairies feed it heavily. A shame you can't feed 25 lbs. a day.
