[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1838167, member: 42782"] I'm just a 2 cow operation. I feed them against the barn wall. They can't throw it around and walk on it very easily. Hay is almost completely cleaned up. It rained 9" so far this year (SW Oregon). It never froze here. I can't weigh the hay pulled off these 700.lb squares but they also have access to green pasture. I take out a big wheelbarrow of hay every day heaped full and packed down. They get some cubes and stocker grower too, because they are dairy cows. Also, yesterday the bred heifer tested positive pregnant on her second P test. You have to test again 10 days later to rule out false positives and negatives. She has a little golden brown biscuit in the oven. :) By farmerjans figuring they need 29 lbs a day. [/QUOTE]
