Choice, or prime beef is a premium product, it is not going to be cheap.

Been learning a lot this morning Richard.
Canada feeds a lot of barley.
Also learned that I bought the wrong machine for processing the barley!

I know it varies from area to area. Down here, it better to feed them out in cooler weather, as far as weight gain per pound fed.

Before the "BSE" hit, some big feed lots fed salvaged foods, breakfast cereals, candy bars, most anything that was cheap.

My father-in-law fed up to 10,00 head, all steers. They used a steam roller to make what they called corn flakes.
High maintenance machine, they had the rolls sharpened a couple times a year.

We dont grain ours and some people dont like the flavor. Has a slight wild game taste. Not everybody that is used to grocery store beef from Argentina can get used to that taste. They like the chemical taste of imported beef. Our cutter has been 12 weeks out for the whole year.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

I know it varies from area to area. Down here, it better to feed them out in cooler weather, as far as weight gain per pound fed. We think its gonna work. We bought a grinder mixer. OMC 430 model. Sight unseen....but from the pictures it looks new almost. In reading this morning...you do not want to grind the grain too fine or you will cause sickness. Also, fine ground barley cant be fed at the same rate as dry rolled. However...if we use the largest screen (1 inch) and go slow....its supposed to be fine. Hope so! Might not be ideal, but probably a more versatile machine. Especially for hogs and chickens and such. We just have to be careful and not produce fines. Barry, we struggle with it being too cold up here for feeding cattle. We dont have near the heat and humidity problems you guys have. It is really hard to fatten at 30 below. Maintain body condition is possible, but gain is difficult.

We fed wet distiller's gran for years. Jake got hit hard with high Sulphur one spring. I'm still sore at his feed salesman, he knew what the trouble was. Our veterinarians did not know anything about it either. I think when they go to Los Valgus for schooling they like to take horse classes.

The high sulpher in the ration cause paralyses in the bovine's entreaties. They would struggle to get on their feet, the doc's kept treating with B12, that helped, but not nearly enough. I finialy got Jake to call the state beef specialist.
He had him cut back on the DG, that stopped the trouble, but not before he lost many steers, and a lot of money.
Jake was able to get in on the seven dollar corn market a few years later, that helped out a lot.

Why did that lot of DG have such high sulfur content?
I killed a bunch of cows during a tough winter with nitrates.

The ethanol plants use Sulphur acid for two things, to keep the yeast working longer, as do most wineries, and to wash up the equipment. Some of that ends up in the feed. Deep wells can run a higher Sulphur content in the spring.
