[QUOTE="preston39, post: 88153, member: 1487"] Big calves 7-8wt. get straight shelled corn.As far as the corn passing thru, they still use part of the nutrients. If feeding ground feed you need to use your bifocals :shock: the corn is still there just smaller pieces. One of the studies that someone posted recently showed there was little economic gain from processing the corn. We have done this for 40 years and can't complain. Lightweight calves might be a diferent story. We bring up to full feed then the bunks stay full, no dust prob. and no moldy feed 8) your friend Mike[/quote] ============= The outer hull will always pass thru...but with it cracked the heart...the nutrients will be absorbed...not so with whole corn...in small calves...like kids...they won't chew properly. I would like to see the study.....even with large animals much comes thru whole...lower nutrients. [/QUOTE]
