Does anybody feed it to thier cows?  Any thoughts on it?

My grandson had someone to pour molasses on his car and cover it with corn starch... does that count?

I would think that it acts the same way as using molasses. We too use vegetable oil. We use it on calves that tend to bloat and to add weight. It does make their coats shiny.

It is great cheap feed. Need to be careful of the sulphur content and if feeding free choice as I do you may experience cracked hooves and increase in birthweights if fed into the third tri. I get 250 gallons at a time from a neighbor who has a tanker load brought in every other week or so. I fill a stock tank and they do not over eat after they are used to it.

I would not free choice it. Your best bet is 5-8 pounds a day, really shines the cows up! Don't over feed it cows can have trouble breeding back and it is not worth the chance. If handled right it is a very cheap source of protien and energy.

Danville is just down the road from my hometown, small world!

I actually go by this place on my way to the U of I, didn't realize it was the place on Bowman Ave.

I was their sales manager/marketing for them. Spent way too many nights there. This was just before I got sick & had to go off the road.
