You don’t really have much experience feeding cattle, or raising corn, do you?
I said that during the Obama years.
Oh yeah, Psaki let slip in the last couple days that this is Obama’s third term, that he’s the man behind the curtain.
I doubt if you could sell the cows on that system. Hungry cows are un-bleeping-manageable. They will start by ignoring fences, corrals, etc. They will start searching and will mow down anything chewable they can get to——including the neighbor’s front yard.
As a side note the south side of Chicago used to have the biggest feed yards in the country. As I recall to local geniuses shut down the yards as well as the jobs , to build Midway air field. But can you imagine what those cows, and Mrs, Oleary’s cow, would have done to Chicago if they had gotten hungry? Food for thot?
They’re using “distillers’ dried grains “ to feed the cattle also.đŸ¤”
“As a side note the south side of Chicago used to have the biggest feed yards in the country.”
I just watched the western Silverado (1870/1880??) and one of the characters said they worked in a feedlot in Chicago.
My dad told a story about a lunch spot back in the ‘50s where he could get a Porterhouse and a salad for $1.50.
The daily news is starting to sound that way. Who is John Galt?... right before my eyes.
And it’s all going according to plan.
These asshats hate humans. They want to starve, cancer, COVID or whatever they can do to get the planet down to 500,000,000 people.
The great RESET is a plan for lower expectations and lower delivery.
Thank you Klaus Schuab and the WEF.
And Canadian ranchers will sell their starving stock off for pennies on the dollar but grocery stores will double the price. It happened that way when TX had a drought a few years ago. Grocery prices should have reflected the reduced price at auction barns, but they doubled the price and it never went back down to “normal” after the drought and ranchers got their heads of stock back up.
Hmm, or maybe stop the stupid vax crap.
Feedlots don’t have fields.
I worry for my neighbors. Most of them are conventional farmers, dependent on mass-produced fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and feeds.
Driving down the highway in CA, I could smell the feedlots before I saw them. They were fenced in out in areas surrounded by fields.
Who you know are not going to be doing without themselves.
Animals can turn psychotic when they’re hungry. You don’t want to see a feedlot with tens of thousands of half-ton animals when they’re like that!
A better option would be to dilute the feed with more roughage, so the cattle still feel full. The digestive systems of cattle are pretty forgiving in that regard*. You could mix fine-ground sawdust in and it wouldn’t hurt them, as long as it wasn’t from a toxic species of tree like a yew.
They can also eat the chaff left from processing grain, the stalks from corn, I’ve even heard of them being fed shredded newspaper, although I wouldn’t recommend that last one.
(*Unlike, say, horses, whose digestive systems are a delicate balance on the best of days.)

Good advice. But you’re right - leave out the newspapers. Colored ink is a no no...
“Ethanol in fuel is more important …. Right ?“
Uninformed comment by a city person you just made.
There is plenty of corn around.
Corn yields have increased dramatically , there is plenty .
This issue sounds like a distribution issue.
