Are you feeding cattle? I feed a liquid distillers solubles called 'syrup' from our local ethanol plant. I am basically paying just the freight on the product, and cattle love it. It has about the same energy Mcals as corn (less carbs, more fat), 22-24 % protein, and a fair amount of Phos. Also a fair amount of Sulphur.
That is the good news- cheap and good feed. The BAd- it is harder to handle than molasses. It is very runny when hot, and shows up about 130 degrees. As it cools, it thickens like catchup. I use a gear pump to pump it, but it is somewhat erosive, and I get about 9 months out of a set of gear pump gears.
There are a lot of steers and dairy cattle fed that stuff in my neighborhood, but you will need a big tank that can take heat (some plastic tanks do not), a way to keep the stuff warm in the winter, and a good pump. As for the pump, there are people that use the banjo cast iron fertilizer pumps as well, but when it is still hot.
Good luck. It will be cheaper than molasses (in my neighborhood) but harder to work with.
