  2. How much dry distillers' grains can be fed to feedlot beef cattle? Updated: November 07, 2008
  3. In a recent article on grain-feeding cows in a drought, you wrote that if corn gluten or soy hulls were fed instead of grain, no ionophore would be necessary. Does the same apply to a backgrounding ration for calves? The ration would consist of corn silage, chopped grain hay, rolled corn, and protein to balance ration. Updated: October 29, 2008
  4. What percent wet distillers can I use in a Holstein ration to calves used for beef production, weighing 200 to 400 pounds and 400 to 1,400 pounds, without the higher moisture content affecting their gain? Updated: October 29, 2008
  5. I plan to feed my feeder calves ground corn stalks and grass hay. How much wet distillers grain would you suggest feeding per head, per day as a replacement for corn? Updated: October 28, 2008
