[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 307660, member: 2308"] That is correct, there is a much smaller chance of having an animal bloat or losing an animal with oats although it can happen. They are lower energy. Barley is good also, and it and oats are the most common feed grains around here. Barley is touchy and you will have to be more cautious when introducing it into a ration. As for the energy, I guess it depends on how much growth you want. For us oats work, we only need the heifers to gain about 2 lbs/day, if we wanted to finish them we would be using barley. But oats is safer so we use it. [/QUOTE]
