[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 82744, member: 968"] I don't have a clue what you are feeding. But you say it is like feeding flour. I would advise you to keep the soda in the ration. The insides of a cattle's stomach have tiny little "hairs" or "fingers". If the powder gets plugged up between the "hairs", the stomach stops working properly and they get sick. Picture you taking a hand full of flour & submerging your hand in a bucket of water. When you open your hand, you will have a ball of powder stuck together. Out here, we have the same problem with "ground" corn. Feed mills all grind it waaay too much & it's too much like flour. We always recommend for people to feed whole shell corn instead of grinding it because steers get sick on fine feed. [/QUOTE]
