[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 700676, member: 8265"] I guess everyone's common sense is different. Mine tells me that feeding nearly all grain ration to a ruminant is not a good idea. Acidosis, rumenitis and ulceration, liver abscesses, etc. I once read in Merck Veterinary Manual that up to 40% of cattle at slaughter had liver abscesses as the result of high grain diets. Of course, feeding grain is cheaper, at least as long as there is cheap energy to produce and ship it, and haul the cattle to the feedlots from all over the country. [/QUOTE]
