I let the cows eat for 1 hr and move them. I don't feed it to 1st calf hefers. It makes their calf's too big. Cows can eat too much. I've fed it for 5+ years.
I had 2 cows die while feeding WBG free choice. Both were vaccinated and healthy. First was a 4 yr old cow. I just found her dead. the other was a first calf heifer that birthed a 95 lb calf. She was 24 months old. You do what you think is best.

Absolutely a false statement. I keep and raise 99% of my heifers and they have no diet different than the cows their calves are the same size as the others. The brewers grain does not make the calf any bigger than it would have been. It doesn't matter how long you fed it if you have no idea what your talking about.

So you think a cow on just grass and a cow eating an all you can eat grain buffet and grass would have the same size calf?? Do you also think the cows would weigh the same?? That would follow your thought process. If so you should stop feeding the WBG. It's too much work if you think you are getting no results.
Have a nice day.
quartermeter":d5cj9xaw said:Dude your crazy. I never said the WBG was killing MY cows I just said I had 2 cows die. You said it keeps your cows fat. A healthy fat cow will have a healthier bigger calf than a thin cow. Maybe not too big but bigger. You have to agree with your own words.
quartermeter":d5cj9xaw said:WBG has been fed to farm animals for 1000's of years. I'm sure there have been studies done on feeding results. SHT I'm not here to argue. I'm here to gain info. Remember No one knows everything. Farmers around me are Skeptic of WBG. Most never heard of it. I get more than I need And I have tried to give it away. I've had no luck. The baptists won't take any cause it comes from beer. It's too much work for others.
Skyhightree you need to RELAX. You'll have a more harmonious outcome. This isn't worth getting all upset over.
Have a nice day.
quartermeter":d5cj9xaw said:SHT how many cow and heifers do you feed?
What's the measurements on that tilt trailer?
Where r u located?
Just curious?

"Its good feed keeps the cows looking good(FAT) over the winter and has cut my hay consumption over half."
I fully agree with you. Your preaching to the Choir. I've fed it for 5+ years. They love it and eat less hay and grass.
Go preach to folks that don't use it.
You know your only feeding half of what you dump right. They walk on and waste half of it. Looks like that trailer holds 12-14,000 lbs. if u have 150 cows that's just 50 lbs each. Thats what mine get. I don't feed it every day. I get mine in 300 gal totes. 2-3/week. Cows are full after an hour. I move them out and feed it in 2 days. I don't have much to waste.
If you're ever in Pulaski Tenn I'll buy u a beer. We'll argue in person.
I fed it to dairy cattle for 10 years in large volumes. An excellent product. Quartermeter actually it is nutritionally considered "roughage" once it has gone through the fermentation process and is little more than residue of what once was grain. The process removes almost all of the starches making it a very safe feed for cattle of all ages. As for the 50% waste you experienced all I can say is you must have had a really shytty setup as we had almost zero loss. BTW tell the baptist the alcohol is all gone. :lol2:quartermeter":9kgt9rvx said:You said this.

Go back to page one and you'll see that "I" was the one that pointed out that it was indeed WBG and not wet distillers grain. WBG absolutely is fermented during the beer manufacturing process. Without it there is no alcohol. Can't find Sky's post about cattle walking through the WBG. Did see where he said he had a sacrifice area where he fed and from time to time he would disk leftovers into the soil.quartermeter":qns4cycv said:Title says distillers grain, he meant WBG, wet brewers grain. There is no fermentation in WBG. As for the waste. It's SHT with the waste. He's dumping 10,000 lbs on the ground. I said 1/2 is wasted due to them walking on it. I feed in 300 gal totes. I have no waste. Go read again.
