[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 908927, member: 6543"] chicken litter is still used as a silage addative in some spots around Virginia as well. Fertilizer prices have certainly boosted the prices of chicken litter as well. We don't have many chickens around my part of the state and freight from those areas that do have it is pretty much cost prohibitive. most of the cattle here are cow calf so there is not much opportunity for confinement manure either and those that have it use it. Plenty of used sawdust available but you generally have to root through it to find a horse biscuit so it is not of much use. We have one pile in the county that is on fire now and it is so big that no one knows how to deal with it. Forty year accumulation and no one knew about it until it caught fire. Just had an e-mail about the fire pile come in while typing this. Pile is not blazing....just smoldering and smoking. smoke caused the complaint.... better go check it... [/QUOTE]
