[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 65244, member: 1132"] Given your cows were not raised on litter as all of mine have - I doubt that many would eat it hardily (some might pick at it though). Our calves are exposed to it from a fairly young age & develop a liking that then makes them avid eaters as cows. Given free choice hay or stockpile fesue as sources for fiber, they will always finish their daily allotment of litter. Some rush from the hay or pasture to meet the tractor while others only come up later. I think like any other non-grass feed, some just love it while others never really seem to embrace it (I've seem some cows that just didn't like corn; I think because I only used it occassionally, thus not giving them that early exposure which allows for taste devopment). I know how true this is with people, just try getting an adult to eat a raw oyster for the first time! [/QUOTE]
