supplemental feeds for grass fed cattle

[Guest guest]

We also must be aware of the huge difference in plants because of

selection, breeding, hybridization, etc. Have you ever seen pictures

of old corn plants? Not much starch is there? What would all of the

original plants have looked like compared to today?

As far as grass seed goes, I'm not sure there is much of an issue

even if they do eat some seed heads. Most would pass through to grow

some where else. What little if any is in a tiny grass seed probably

wouldn't even matter. More interesting research that could be done.

I meant the oats as grain in my post. I'd like to see if oats would

affect the CLA and omega's as negatively as other grains. I graze off

oats as grass every spring and fall. Want to see some happy cows? Turn

them into the oats, cow candy.
