[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1101819, member: 637"] TexasBred, Ken is nipping at my heels here, :lol2: as I have tried to use the metric system when I ask him questions, so he is pulling my pigtail. :nod: Ken, TexasBred is so right on the imperial ton. This grain company is in the middle of no where. The feed mixes they have been using are from 20 years ago and had so much cotton seed hulls, it looked like an explosion at a mattress factory. So their advancement with the times, and researching how cattle nutrition has changed, has not been a priority. He did tell me that he mixed such a high volume of hulls was because the cattle could not overeat. They might be eating all they can hold and never get the amount of grain they need either. Younger calves cannot handle that much fiber in the feed, and it just passes through. TexasBred has been teaching me and I have been doing a lot of reading trying to learn more. Learning about the nutrition is easier than learning the metric system. :nod: But having said that, a small grainery in the middle of two very tiny rural towns in Tennessee, would not dare go out on a limb and go to the metric system. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: You were joking I know, but it would be hilarious if they tried it. All of the old farmers would go to the seed stores, and talk about it non-stop. When they bought the feed, they would make them convert it to the old standard. "How much feed did I really get?" I remember when the Raceway Service stations tried selling gas by the liters. People would go in and ask, "How much gas did I really get?" :lol2: [/QUOTE]
