Meet the guest: Don Scarrow is a feedlot owner and operator from Idaho who finishes cattle and sells to a beef packer as part of an all-natural feeding and marketing program. His experience centers on using potato waste as a primary starch source while managing acidosis, bloat, feed efficiency, and carcass grading outcomes.
