[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 693356, member: 6897"] TG I've never fed straw and most folks around here haven't either as all wehave is wheat stray which is pretty worthless except for growing mushrooms. Oat straw is probably better. Wheat midds are good feed ingredient but I've never feed them exclusively. When you buy them most companies will guarantee 15% protein even tho some will test higher as well as 9% fiber along with a TDN around70% and good energy. Probably wouldn't feed over 7-8 lbs. per head per day. Oftentimes midds will have somewhat of a laxative effect on cattle so long stem straw with midds shouldn't be a big problem. Midds have been expensive lately but you can probably buy them now for around $130 to $140 per ton bulk. Usually high in phosphorus and low in calcium so use a mineral to compliment your feed.
