SW Ohio | Mitchco hasn't asked yet so I will. We have a half a truck load of poor quality wheat, like 40#TW 18% damage (straight off the combine and they said heat and insect damage???)
He has a bout 20 brood cows on pasture that is getting thin so he is feeding round bales and seldom any grain but could.
8-10 calves from 2wt up to 6 wt, getting some grain in the barn
2-3 fats for the freezer getting lots of grain.
How much and what processing to do with this wheat to feed it gone? can mix with corn, beans and/or hay.
Is there a limit to how many pounds per day per head or max percentage of mix, or max percent of body weight??
any other concerns with feeding this wheat to cows? I know in parts of the continent wheat is heavily used for feed.
From what I heard at the elevator there is going to be a lot of feed wheat in this area even though there is not much wheat grown around here. | |
