Ive fed modified wet distellers grains for 2 years. Our local plant opened up first of the month and got a load from there. This stuff is 70% moisture & on a dry matter basis its about 34% CP and 10% fat. Thats roughly without my sheet about 20% of ration and then 4# corn and the rest low quality hay.
In years past Ive fed way more distellers (about 35% of ration) that was like 55% moisture and 3# corn and worked great. This stuff after about a week they are so loose they could $hit into the next county. Extension agent figured ration on modified DDG, and I compensated for extra moisture. Asked him and he said I did it right. His openion is that its so wet that the kidneys arent removing all the water and its going out hole #2. Backed off on ground hay and been feeding lose hay, hasnt done much either. They seam to be doing alright, just real loose. Got them out in the pasture so they are staying fairly clean. Selling on the 27 I think so want to not mess with them too much. Accually for the price I should be feeding about 40% WDG and back off the corn, but with what is happening now I dont know. Going to keep some hieffers and anything that is really light, so might change ration then.
Just thought see if two heads were better than one I guess.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
