[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1166226, member: 22072"] I never promoted it, but people got so mad at me in that thread.. Its just how we survived the drought. Many people use it around here, its plentiful. From what i've heard its not good if you ship it. My son in laws family lost a herd to it, apparently they didnt cure it right and it was shipped from a distance. I think that is the reason its illegal in some areas because it either doesnt get hot enough and there are no chicken barns close by.... Just like any feed, its gotta be done right. My daughter had some cows get out into a milo field and she lost some of them, no litter involved, but people still feed feed with it in it. We fed littler under the instructions of a big bull breeder who uses litter from his own chicken barns. We felt safe that we would be using the same thing he feeds his high dollar bulls. If you stand there and watch them eat it, and then take a tour of his barns full of it, it looked safe. And what i tried to get across is if you had 20ish cows, it wouldnt have paid to even think of chicken litter because you have to buy a semi truck load at a time. You gotta have a lot of room and a lot of cows to make it worth the trouble. Never ever meant i'm better because we have more cows or more room, but it was taken that way. Nothing ever went well in this forum after that. Anyone is free to read it, not once did i ever get rude, mean or anything. I just wanted to hear how everyone survived the drought. [/QUOTE]
