I do some custom grinding for a neighbor when she needs it. Last I ground for her was corn with a little mineral that she's using for cattle and creep feeding the calves. I do the same for creep feeding but give them free choice of brome and they do well. Hers all have poopy butts - too much protein without enough roughage. She got about 10 bushels of oats that she wants to add to her next batch as roughage and probably grind in a bale or two. Question is this - the oats don't need to be dust. I usually do everything on the second screen (1/2 inch I think) and vary throttle to change the grind. Should I run the oats through with it just above idle or take out the screen all together? I've never in all of my years put oats through to use as the roughage source. I have just ground it same as the corn or wheat more as a filler. It is a JD 400 grinder if that makes a difference.
