[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1849995, member: 25884"] Wouldn't drink it if it were the milk cows eating it, even if it smelled like Hershey's syrup added to the milk... There are a couple people in the area that feed chicken litter... that said, no, I don't believe in mixing it into a ration... not my cattle, not my thing but if it is legal and someone does it, not my place to comment unless asked. HOWEVER, if they have been on it, and like the couple that feed it and then sell as heavy weight 8's, the cattle come in the ring and you can smell an off smell from them. It is like it just radiates a body odor off the cattle that have been on it.. I also have it from 2 people that used to buy some beef from them, and they said the meat has an off flavor... the one friend... who is friends with both of us... said he could not eat the beef from the one animal and wound up feeding it to his dogs... and got another beef from a neighbor who had a heifer get injured and he fed it grass, hay and some feed for several months... said it was so much better beef than he had had for several years. So he never went back to getting any from the guy that fed litter as part of the ration... [/QUOTE]
