wow, has anybody ever heard of this

[plbcattle]

I have been investigating a feed that several people feed and are quite impressed. if has corn gluten, cotton seed mill and waffles. yes that is right waffles. A major manufactor of waffles has a waste of about 2000lbs an hour of waffles. they sell this to a feed distributor who mixes these together for a cattle feed. it is around 18% protein with a high fat content. around 12%. it is half the cost of my current feed. 80$ a ton delivered to my ranch. this is being delivered from around Memphis. I assume that is is a lot cheaper if you don't have to have it hauled in so far.I am feeding a ration that is $150 a ton now. I would have to get a trailer load(23 tons). has anyone ever used this or heard of it. several buig ranches I know of are feeding this. I was thinking about using it but was just curious

The important thing to ask is does it come with syrup. :lol:

Watch that fat level--- over 4 % total ration messes up forage digestion.

Wish I could get my hands on it

Angus breeder down the road fed this stuff to some bulls last year.

Blew the feet right "OFF" of 'em. They looked like they were about to go skiing.

I have fed waffles before that were mixed with cotton tailings. We got them in and mixed with chicken litter for a protein sorce. They worked fine but this feed will be high in moisture, 20 to 40 % depending on rain. So know beforehand you will be buying a lot of water fo $80 per ton.

Johnny,

After saying you've used chicken litter, you may want to lay low for a while! LOL

We currently do not feed chicken litter even tho it is legal.

In the past we used it extensivly to develop our bulls and heifers in a PB operation. Also used it as a protein supplement for our cows.It makes an excellant feed.

Because of BSE we discontinued feeding it, although many in chicken country are still feeding it.
