Pumpkins for non-GMO feed (Seriously?)

The day after Halloween, I asked my husband, "Can I feed the carved pumpkins to the cows?"
"Good question," he replied. "You better check and make sure they aren't poisonous to cows, first."

Turns out that cows like to eat pumpkins. Not only that, the protein content of pumpkins (according to this white paper) is ~15% (of dry matter), which makes is almost as high as the non-GMO feed we are buying.

Are you feeding your cattle pumpkins? Let me know how it is working!
