Graze-Lers,
As Sylvia related we do feed liquid molasses each day to the milking
herd. Not at the level Dave Johnson is suggesting but at 1 pound per day
along with 4 pounds of fine ground corn (maize) and minerals.
Our reason is that molasses is quickly available as an energy source,
highly palatable, and encourages cows to eat even when they are quite
full of high quality pasture, increasing DM intake.
