DDG in an Upright Bin ?

[Stocker Steve]

Any issues with putting DDG in a metal bin that has an auger to unload form the bottom?

If it absorbs moisture it'll cake up, metal condensates, we grind our feed, it something's cakes and hangs up when the weather changes

I don't have an auger on my bin, but it is an upright steel bin. If I have much DDG in the feed (maybe over 25%), it cakes up bad. Even last winter it caked up. I just got a mix with no DDG and it is flowing well.

You'll want a rubber mallet to beat on the side walls and a stick to shove up the bottom opening to break up the clumps. I wouldnt use an upright bin if its going to sit in there long because like others said it likes to cake up

depending on how fast you feed it, i'd dump it in a "bale bin" on the ground and if necessary, cover it.

I put my DDG in 300 + gal Rubbermaid tanks and never go over a 3 week supply on hand. Tanks are inside. If I were feeding a pot load
I would use a self feeder and limit feed until they were 9 months at least. I normally ship as yearlings. Usually I feed DDG in the fall and
winter only so caking is no problem. YMMV
