I was over on seattle- tacoma Craigslist, checking on farm equipment, and went to the free postings, out of couriosity. I figgure it is mostly junk, and so don't go there very often. I ran into a post wanting someone to come and pick up spent distillers grain, and wanted a long term relationship, with a livestock producer, who would put a container there, that held at least 500 lbs, and come regularly to remove the grain. MAN! I imediately had visions of granduer of raising a couple of fat hogs, and giving the grain to my chickens and three yearling steers. I waited till this morning, and went to reply to the post, and found it was posted 3-15-12 and today is 3-22-12, and the post had been poofed. Some lucky pup has sure got himself a good deal! Now that is one long time relationship that I could have lived with! Didn't know where INTERBAY WA. was anyway!
 

We fed brewers malt to dairy cows, and it was a source of wonderment to nutritionists at the time, because the feed value of it shouldn't have increased milk production as much as it did. Personally, I think the cows got a little plastered, and just plain felt better.

Do know that it isn't very good for hogs- makes the fat slimy, won't firm up properly when you chill it after butchering.

Interbay is a neighborhood in Seattle- in the Pier 91 area, between Magnolia and Queen Anne. Kind of an industrial area. Its a bit of a slog from Roy, and it would involve downtown Seattle, now that the Alaskan Way Viaduct is gone. Not my cup o' tea.
 
My dad has a deal like thyat going with a local brewer. They put it in barrels and he goes and picks them up every other day or so. Sometimes 2 barrels, sometimes 4. They've increased their production too so there is a LOT of distillers grain.

Another side benefit is that they buy damaged barley from the malt mill. Most is useable (buy entire damaged skids I think) and any bags that are damaged are no good to them. My dad will go and get a full ton of malted barley time to time for the taking. He then will have it put in the ground feed when he gets it made up.

One of the best deals our county ag agent has found for us yet.

The milk production has almost doubled from before he started helping my dad out too.
