Hey Day observed at Iowa State College cattle feeders event
Cattle feeders from across Iowa gathered on the Town State College campus for the 22nd annual Hey Day. The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station at Iowa State College presented results from a 240 day feeding trial using two corn varieties and multiple oilmeal types. Final data showed little difference between hard and soft corn, with cost differences depending on whether shelled corn was followed by hogs. Solvent soybean oilmeal proved superior among oilmeals, with estimated breakeven costs around nine to ten dollars per hundredweight depending on feed mix.
