All the info I could gather said deer and cows eat cottonseed but hogs don't. The hogs in San Saba eat the crap out of it. [Linked Image]

I'm in DeWitt County, it has been out a year and nothing has eaten it. I took the wire "cages" off of it and left it a month or better and still, nothing even stopped to look at it. I just hauled a 1,000 pounds to my burn hole. I'm tired of looking at it.

Some pigs even eat corn with deisel in it. So there is that.

I wonder why they never tested that hog poison stuff in corn with deisel to turn off other animals? I can't think of another animal that will do that...

Because other animals will eat corn with diesel including deer and raccoons that I have seen.

Pigs will eat other dead pigs. They eat it all, just garbage disposals

My hogs wont eat pumpkins. They'll shell out ear corn, but leave the cobs. Those are the only 2 things I've observed they leave, everything else is gobbled up.

Yeah, leftover pumpkins I purchased a couple of years from the church's post Halloween sale were never touched by hogs at all.

I was just a little surprized because I came on this forum and another and most said hogs would not eat it. I guess ours didn't get the memo.

Boobily buys cottonseed by the truckload puts it under a three sided barn. The cows can't get to it because it behind some pipe fencing, but the hogs certainly can get in. They are out at the barn each day when he cubes the cows, but they (the pigs0 never touch his cottonseed. That's what Boobily says. He's always right. Just ask him.
