[QUOTE="stocky, post: 209709, member: 1150"] Milkmaid, you need a considerably better hay than I do. The dairy people around here pay 150 per ton for alfalfa and their hay cost per cow is around 3 dollars per day. With your nurse cows, you have to have much more expensive hay than I do. The hay I buy is mainly fescue and orchard grass with clover and also some johnsongrass hay. A good 4x6 bale will feed 30 cows per day, so it is 1 bale per cow per month and at 15 dollars per bale, that is 15 dollars per cow per month. Our drought drove hay prices up this fall for people who didnt have enough and 30-35 was pretty common. What it will cost this summer all depends on the rain [/QUOTE]
