[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1630556, member: 2905"] Have supplemented cows grazing stockpiled frozen bermudagrass with cottonseed thru winter for many years. Normally feed 1/2 of 5 gal bucket per cow, 3 times per week. If cows are really thin or lactating sometime feed 4X weekly. Is my understanding that gossypol is not such an issue with seed from short staple, upland cotton. It's more of an issue in long staple, Pima cotton. Pima is only grown in limited acreage in far west Tx, Arizona and California so vast majority of seed is from upland cotton. Apparently Pima seed has much higher levels of gossypol. [/QUOTE]
