[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 51341, member: 57"] We've fed "mote" before which is basically cotton gin trash in a large square bale tied up with wire. I personally dont think it did much good and it was kind of messy as far as the leftover cotton that wouldnt decay. we eventually had to burn the leftovers which was not really anymore than is wasted from a roundbale but it just stuck out more, being white, and looked bad. Ive also heard that tons of weeds come up where you feed gin trash. I would stick with the cottonseed, or preferably get some good quality hay instead. Our cattle glean our cotton fields every year and we never have any jaw problems b/c of cotton hulls. We did have a few jaw problems from oat or wheat seed heads last year, however. [/QUOTE]
