[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 404741, member: 4353"] if it wasn't for straw no one would ever make it through a summer in the Western Cape. Feeding straw and proteien licks is standard practice here. What needs to be added is the importance of vitamin A in a feeding regime that is straw based. I prefer the injectable vit A. Where I differ from the text is that South African cattle certainly has developed a different taste than those in the USA. Ours prefer barley straw hands down, followed by oats, korog and wheat. If you can chop the straw feed intake will increase and waste will decrease, if you can add 1 bale of alfalfa for every 4 or 5 straw, when going through the hammermill, the cattle don't need much else.
