Does any one have any experience feeding brewers spent grain to weaned feeder calves?
I have been stretching my laying mash with spent grain without issue. The chickens gobble it right up. I wanted to know if there are pitfalls to feeding it to calves. With feed prices the way they are, an unlimited source of free protein looks pretty good.

Its being done more and more in the industry. We have lots of Ethanol plants and they feed the spent corn to cattle so I'm sure its fine.
