[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 804419, member: 14661"] Most dairymen around here will feed alot of citrus in the ration during the winter. Its in a TMR (total mixed ration) so they aren't eating it by itself but it's a great energy source and the smell really gets the cattle on feed. A few beef guys will feed it but if you factor in your time, it's just as cheap to throw out some hay unless you can get it delivered in bulk and handle it in bulk. Also, we shipped steers to Colorado a few years ago that were part of a study where they finished them on carrots. I don't remember all the details but the rate of gain was great, once they got used to eating them the cattle prefered the carrots over other feeds, and the steaks they sent us to try were fantastic. As I recall, the drawback was it was pretty hard to get them to start eating the carrots. [/QUOTE]
