jonny2006, What you are talking about I call down here in Central Texas is "Beer can Hay" we only feed that when we are recieving fresh cattle that have been on a truck for 12 to 14 hrs. It is just roughage. Something that yearling cattle will pick at for 12 hrs or so, for you want something in their stomach, so the bacteria don't get flushed out with water when the cattle drink in 8 to 12 hrs after thy have gotten of the truck, You have to give them time to settle down after a long truck ride, and stress is rampant in their systems, I do not see how that will work with all the trash in the ditches beside the highway.
Later,
John A.
