Hi cozzie dealerman,
years since I fed them but a load would fill the gap alright, think they are around 25%CP. If you could get 2 or 3 ton of pulp nuts in the bottom of the truck before they go to murphys it increases the DM in the load significantly and would give a little lift to energy too. What way will you feed it though?

Unless you are getting it for nothing I would not not use it grass is high enough in protein so you need an energy ration 10-12 idealy at most 14% Protien I know it is expensive but barley/soyahulls or even aif you only want to fill a gap Hulls by themselves

i aint no dealerman . My opinion on brewers grains is that they are just too wet to haul long distances, It was different before when they could be picked up for next to nothing but not nowadays. Last time I asked for a price I asked the salesman if he taught I was for the birds

40e a ton, that's not too bad that's only 160/ ton DM. What can you buy barley for, 200e ton at 85% DM? OK it's going to be hassle feeding it
