[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1835711, member: 43196"] I understand exactly what you are saying here. I'm going to urge caution here because you aren't considering nutritional content of the feed, which makes ALL the difference in forage. Consider this: If the nutritional content of hay is poor enough (and I've seen this) You can starve an animal with a full rumen. Conversely, you can have cattle so short on volume of forage and are 'hungry' to the point they are eating wooden fence posts, crates, stalls, trailers, etc..... but you are feeding the animal a small amount of nutrient rich forage, it's getting pretty much everything it needs.
