Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
That's an odd thing to say, I'm simply asking what is this protein feed supplement you say must be used on cows. I have never heard of cows eating meat or protein, unlike chickens or pigs. As far as corporations lying, well, you tell me.
You've never had to feed any livestock have you?
Search for cattle feed and any time you see 16% or 14% that is the amount of protein in the feed. It's the same for all livestock. All animals require protein, even non-carnivores.
No. Have you? So like I said, I only know farmers who raise cattle, been at their places and saw what they did. Lick blocks, hay, grass, trying to imitate nature inasmuch as domesticated animals can have, and in nature, grazing animals graze. They don't eat each other, all the protein comes from the seeds and grains they walk in. So "all animals require protein" sure, so do humans but there is protein in the plant kingdom otherwise vegetarians would all be dead. Supplements are only needed if the provided diet is insufficient in required natural things- this is true for humans and animals, you can agree is self-evident. So, poor quality grazing?
Sooooo you don't know.
Lol of course I do, they've told me flat out now. It was self-evident and obvious but now I've asked them outright, gotten laughed at for asking about something that's so plain to see. We've already established that you don't know, so now you're just deflecting. Go talk to a rancher.
