Wheat Can Be Profitable Cattle Feed When Prices Align
Kansas State University nutritionist Dr. Philip Phar says wheat can reduce feed costs if bought near corn price. Replacing 25–30 percent of corn or sorghum in high grain rations and up to 50 percent in roughage rations is feasible with careful mixing. Ground or rolled wheat is preferred to avoid pasty texture, and gradual diet changes over 2–3 weeks minimize digestive upset.
