[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 831213, member: 6897"] I know several producers that fed ground cotton burrs during the last drought. Pretty nasty and dusty stuff but cattle love the things. You'll have some cotton as well as whole cottonseed left in them which will raise the protein up to around 8% which is as good as a lot of hay that folks put up. One man had a mixer wagon and mixed cracked corn and cottonseed meal in with the burrs and made a really nice mix. Burrs use to be cheap but have become a real commodity now so have no idea what the cost would be but probably at least $100 a ton delivered if not more. [/QUOTE]
