[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 282006, member: 2905"] No experience with grain screenings but suspect they would be highly variable in nutritive value. Could be cost effective if produced locally. As feed prices (cost of gain) increase there will eventually (after some lag time) be an increase in the value of gain, which could make supplementing with higher priced corn feasable. In the near term, cost of gain is increasing faster than the value of gain on your cattle making this transition period quite challenging. By spring turnout the value of gain could be more in line with your increased cost of gain. If you are not located near an ethanol plant or a major livestock feeding area, you are probably in a lower than average corn price area and can competively feed corn once the effects of a higher cost of gain work their way into feeder cattle prices, resulting in a higher value of gain. Just another 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
