Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Several years ago a neighbor had a field of wheat that did not get sprayed for weeds and therefore had a lot of wild garlic in it. The mill rejected that load, so I bought it. I did not have a way to grind it, so I soaked it to make it soft and so it would be more eatable, also, I had heard that to much straight wheat would kill a cow. They did fine on the soaked/swelled wheat. I was raising dairy steers at the time. Here is my recipe for feeding 10 head of 4-500 pound steers:Fill 2 five gallon buckets slightly less than half full of wheat. add water until the bucket was 3/4 full soak 48 hours and add to 2 buckets of 14% pellets. Grain is much more expensive today, so I am feeding much less. Also we have an ethanol plant now and the grain the is contaminated with weed seed goes there.Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
