[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 491414, member: 1715"] Obviously cob corn contains a lot of fiber so it is not the ideal feed for younger calves. It works great with washy pasture. I grind it through a 0.5 in or larger screen to keep the dust down. I expect to get 2.5# per day on free choice hay or pasture and bucket fed cob corn. I will bucket feed for a week or two, and then go to self feeding cob corn if we want to push the gain up over 3# per day. This actually was cost effective back when corn was $1.60 per bushel. :cry: [/QUOTE]
