[QUOTE="dph, post: 189362, member: 2112"] I leant my Stevenson-Basin catalog to a neighbor, so I still can't come up with what exactly ORIgen was planning on. Don't know if it relates directly to VI, but I do know that with all the ethanol plants planned for here in Iowa, there has been some discussion on what on how to add value to the byproducts. A thought I have heard twice now, by two different people, is bringing the cattle to the byproduct instead of the other way around. There seems to be some willingness for investors to attempt to finish cattle on concrete near these ethanol plants. The byproduct of the ethanol would go to the cattle, the byproduct of the cattle (manure) would be sent back to the farmer. Don't know what will come of up, but it seems alot of people are beginning to do the math on it. Back to VI, somone else that really seems to be at the forefront of some interesting things in the beef industry is Creekstone. I would think they will have a role to play as well. Really learning alot here, so let's keep this post going. [/QUOTE]
