Southeast Wyoming | The discussion below about removing netwrap from feed processors made me think of the Ruff-Tabs that Farmland Industries introduced years ago, thinking it would revolutionize cattle feeding - another idea that got Farmland Industires where it is today. lol
Do any of you have any experience with using Ruff-Tabs? I believe I saw some at one time but never knew anyone who used them. As I recall, they were a hard plastic just a little smaller than, but similar to packing peanuts. I never understood why they would not pass through and out of the cattle's system.
I'd be concerned with feeding ground up netwrap "strings" to livestock but I guess it is done all of the time; which does not necessarily mean it is good for the livestock, but time is money.
I did a google search and didn't come up with much except this link: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1906&dat=19710129&id=uNcfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ItkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3194,1462863
And on a side note, if find that link very interesting because it appears to be a scan of a newspaper and you can pan around and see the news of that day, January 29, 1971. I'm surprized it shows up on a google search. |
