[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1768875, member: 9933"] Faster Horses Yes, we feed alfalfa only every third day, once we have the cattle in where we can feed on cement. The alfalfa I have now is leafy but fragile and when I throw it out on the ground in deep dry grass, it looks like most of the good leaves end up ground into the dirt. I only have enough alfalfa on hand to feed through winter and I don't have room to store more inside, so we are putting out some tubs for now. Mostly because it makes me feel better. Texas Jersey. The Rangeland 38-20 tubs are 225 pounds and cost about $167. (38% protein 12% fat) They are suppose to consume .5 to 1 pound per day, but they usually go through more than that here. I recently purchased Producers Pride from TSC. They weigh 200 pounds and are priced at $85. They are 24% protein and only 4% fat.
