[QUOTE="terra8186, post: 762187, member: 8649"] I am having my wheat field harvested in the next month. I am thinking about feeding a few feeder calves a wheat mixture. I usually use corn, but I am thinking about using wheat. Here is my rational. The elevator is paying around $4.00/bushel for wheat. I have to pay trucking so it would be $3.80/bushel in my pocket. I buy corn at $4.00/bushel Wheat is 14% CP and Corn is 9% CP. Does anyone see a problem with this? I have been using a mostly corn, with some oats, and vitamins mixture. The Protein level is around 12%. Does anyone have any suggestions on how much wheat I could feed them. Right now the elevator tells me that I could use straight corn with vitamins. Could I do the same with wheat (wheat with vitamins)? [/QUOTE]
