I was listening to a talk from a doctor and heard him say that they are now adding cement dust to cattle feed. Decided to research it. Its TRUE! Here is just one article I found. If you only read the first five small paragraphs, it will make your head spin. Here is one of them . . . and this is why I buy from a local farmer. Some feedlots have begun research trials adding cardboard, newspaper, and sawdust to the feeding programs to reduce costs. Other factory farms scrape up the manure from chicken houses and pigpens, adding it directly to cattle feed. Cement dust may become a particularly attractive feed supplement in the future, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, because it produces a 30 percent faster weight gain than cattle on only regular feed. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials say that its not uncommon for some feedlot operators to mix industrial sewage and oils into the feed to reduce costs and fatten animals more quickly. columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/ecology/cattle.htm
