[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 1093073, member: 13859"] The first suppelment used here was pressed cottenseed , rolled through a roller and shipped in boxcars standing on edge. There was the word cake because it was and looked like somewhat cake. Went on and they perfected someway to make it so that it crumbled more and it came in 100 lb sacks. All hand labor and was a good way to keep in shape[did'nt have no gym's or excersize machines in those days]. In time the pellet equipment was perfected and just about any kind of feed can be pelleted. But in this part of the open prairie country the main cow winter feed is cake[just all cubes and or pellets is so called] and good grass. It is a pretty good way to winter these old range cows. One other thing the old cottenseed cake or pellets was the very best and those old girls , if there was any snow, didnt need water.Think the main cube and or pellet here now is combination alfalfa,peas, cull wheat, and barley. Just about all bulk and usually comes in 20--25 ton loads. Feed it on the ground and there is no waste. [/QUOTE]
