Hey Guys,
Any of you feeding wet brewers grains to livestock?? How do you store it and handle it??
I have access to a small steady amount, not far from home. I'd like to add it to my hog ration to cut costs. I know I can't feed it 100% and I know it'll spoil in a few days in the summer, I'm just wondering if anybody out there has had real world experience.
Everything I read says it's too wet to handle as a solid and too dry to be a liquid. All the methods I find recomend modifying equipment to handle it like a solid... with augers and such. I'm thinking if that doesn't work well, which they all say it doesn't...... why not add water and handle it like a liquid??
I know I can't run it through regular hog feeders as a liquid... I'm just brainstorming. $6+ corn isn't helpng me stay in the hog business.
You can email me if you want: rgf98 @ hotmail.com
Thanks, Tim

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
