[QUOTE="Bob-s, post: 1769698, member: 38134"] Does anyone have information/opinion on whether feeding out steers with whole corn or cracked is better (useable, digestible, etc.)? Around here cracked corn is about $4.00 per bag more than whole corn. I did some research and it seems that cracked is marginally better, some 10-15% more digestible. Reason I ask is that I have been using an antique hand cranked cracking machine because I'm trying to cut cost and $4.00 a day makes a difference on a 100+ day feeding. You can imagine how much fun that is. I could buy an electric one (anyone have one? comments?) but again I am trying to save costs. Am I being overly cheap? Should I just feed whole corn and not look back? [/QUOTE]
