Just what do they feed cattle in the feedyards?

[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 828972, member: 6897"] Whitewing I remember the pics of your growing sorghum from lasst year. Looked like it was grown in very dry weather as it hardly made a head at all. Don't know about your area but around here sorghum (milo) is much less expensive than corn to plant, is much more foregiving and you will always get a crop. Aflatoxins are also not a probelm with milo and has been a real pain in the butt with recent corn crops. The only downside is that milo sells a little cheaper than corn. BUT if you get much higher production down there at a lower cost with corn I'd go with it. I'd still run it thru the grinder mix it at a a minimum of 12 pounds per head per day along with a good roughage source, vitamins, minerals and a protein source. As it mixes add plenty of water. I wouldn't bother with the molasses. [/QUOTE]
