Fistulated steers were fed jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host.) seed at three rates (0.64 1.28 and 2.56 lbs/steer) in a short term pen study to determine the viability, germination and emergence of the seed after cattle digestion. Samples were taken from the rumen and the feces of the cattle 24, 36 and 48 hours after feeding.
