I see people selling pumpkins as cattle feed. has anyone tried this? i have looked it up and it seems pumpkins have a low feed value. I have also been told pumpkins work as a natural wormer. i can get about 2 tons for a little of nothing. but am worried i will end up with 2 tons of pumpkins needing a trip to the dump. I have used pumpkins for hogs but have never used them for cattle. what do you think.
thanks

carbohydrate (6.5%), 1.0g protein, 0.1g fat and 1.1g fiber. Compare with
100g corn which has 358 calories andd 72.2g carbohydrate (72.2 %) and 8.9g
