[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1128327, member: 19930"] See [url]https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/an241[/url] for a quick discussion of wet brewers grain. Wet brewers grain is low in calcium which needs supplemented when feeding. The truck shows up with a plastic bag and an apparatus on the back end and usually a live bottom that feeds the grain into the bag as the truck moves forward. The bag prolongs the useful life of the product by reducing oxygen entry to the product - just like ensiled corn or hay silage. The open end of the bag will allow spoilage. Coons, turkeys, coyotes and other varmits can open up the bag and those tears need repairs, usually with duct tape. There's a lot of water in the product which tends to run out the front of the bag as it's used. The waste bag and runoff stink to no end. Really badly!! Handling the waste bag is a sublime experience for both you and your, from a distance now, loving family but then cattle really eat this stuff up. You should get a nutritional analysis handed to you when the truck arrives. I suggest you take that analysis to your local co-op or farm service and have them work up a recipe. These same folks should be able to provide you any required supplements and amendments you need. University of Missouri provides lists of by products and suppliers and current prices for those by products somewhere on their website. I don't have it handy right. [url]http://agebb.missouri.edu/dairy/byprod/allproducts.asp[/url] provides a different listing than what I use in the office. That current list shows wet brewers grain (73% moisture) at $64/ton. Shipping water is expensive so you need have a nearby source for it to be viable. [/QUOTE]
