Steam flaked wheat is used in ruminant diets from time to time depending on availability and the price relationships between feed wheat and corn.  Moisture and heat are applied to the wheat prior to rolling.  Steak flaking improved starch availability and reduces fines.  The image was taken at a feedlot near Mexicali, Mexico.
