[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 372769, member: 6007"] Yes it was and I have found over the years that despite the continual arguing and debating there is not a significant enough difference for the average cattleman to make it worth worrying about. Unless .... you are feeding hundreds of animals. The average person here feeds less than 10 I would bet. Then there is the - "Oh, oh, I found a grain of corn in the schitzen - they must not be using it!!" Look closely and the cracked stuff is there too - just harder to see. In fact I have found it sometimes pays to feed rolled barley or oats and despite the "number crunchers" that will pop up when I say this - the results are sometimes as good or better. No one seems to take the GENETIC factor into account - as they expect wonders when feeding out some bag of bones dairy animal simply by throwing grain at it. I also wonder how many people worry about this when they should be making an effort instead to take the time to put the verterinarian on their speed dial in preparation for the next "My calf is sick, has been sick for 5 days and I do not know what to do"? Hence my very tongue in cheek comments. I will remain this way forever - and while I am not a big time operator, we have run our share of animals. Have a good one. Bez> [/QUOTE]
