last summer out looking at calves and guy told me he feeds his cow some sort of liquid corn by-product, thats probably not exactly right ,but its somethin i remeber.
just tryin to figure out what it was.

It was like extremely cheap and seemed like their was a # in the name of the company who distributes it, any help is appreciated

Wouldnt be wet distillers grains would it? Or it could be the liquid from brewers thats left over? Cant remember the name of it but the local feedlot and mill puts that liquid on every bit of feed that they make.

There is a product around here called "mix 30". Several others around of similiar stuff....it is a liquid corn by-product.
Not sure of the price, but.....have heard from several, including a nutritionist, that some operations are having trouble with it when fed free choice in a stalk or pasture setting. Problems include reproduction, aborting, dead and weak calves,  and lack of performance.
So not sure if "cheap" is cheap enough. ???

Let me know if you need more info. I can get the nutritionist to give me very specifics.
